The Magical Ingredient

I think I've found the magical ingredient for generating tons of comments on LJ, at least among my friend- circle, and it is very simple-

Talk about head-covering and/or ritual-wear and gender.

I guess people with those interests tend to congregate.

I think other halakhic concerns might get close- so, here's one I need to do some research into- what has the status of a shoe, and the acceptability going barefoot during (davening on) Yom Kippur.

when i was in mourning i wore the same thing i wear on yom kippur and tish‘a b’av — [non-leather, of course] sandals with socks.

normally, i wear sandals without socks. socks go with other types of shoes, so it shows that the sandals are meant in place of some other type.
