Let’s Get Practical
Now, right away, I would tell you a practical suggestion. Every morning when you put on your clothing, first of all think, “Hashem made me great. ם≈ׁ ̆יƒּב¿לַי¿ו– He clothed me in the garments of adam, of a human being. Baruch Hashem, I’m not a cat or a monkey. יםƒמּרוֲﬠ ׁ ̆יƒּב¿לַמ 'ה הָּ ַ̇‡¿ךּרוָּב – You clothed the naked. You make us great, Hashem, by giving us the gift of clothes.
“But not only that! He also has clothed me with the garments of the greatness of the Jewish people. Ah ha! That’s already something else, something much, much higher. Jewish pants are not gentile pants. Jewish dresses are not gentile dresses. And therefore my clothes have to remind me not only about my greatness as an adam, but also as a Jew.”
It means that everybody, men and women, boys and girls, should at all times use their garments as a symbol to remind themselves that they are kohanei Hashem. As much as possible, think about your clothing, that Hakadosh Baruch Hu put them on you as a sign to remind you that you are the greatest in creation, and that you have to live up to your begadim.
