WEARING BLUE JEANS ON SUNDAYS

Image result for levi blue jeans

Blue jeans on Sundays? Disrespectful? To whom? To instead dress up on Saturdays, the holy Shabbat Jewish Day of Rest because you are Jewish, not Gentile. Comfy clothing, the all cotton blue jeans, not dry cleanable only.

What about these comfy blue jeans? What are "jeans" are they indeed an angry substitute for GENES? Not having Priestly genes instead wearing jeans? Owning your genes and so need not dress up in jeans on Saturdays.

To wear all white, pure clothing, non-leather clean white shoes on Saturdays, wearing leather shoes on Sundays. On Yom Kippur wearing holy shoes, white non-leather only.

Jeans, called "Levi Strauss Blue Jeans". Holes in one's jeans, old, tattered, ripped, several holes, several rips. Ripping out of anger that you do possess Levi genes. The Levites being the holy Priests of the lineage of the Levi Prophets, a holy lineage, a holy Tribe of the Hebrew People descended from Jacob. So angry that someone in your line of family dropped their love for Gd and instead chose a life of a love for a different god. Angry you are, ripping your jeans because you have no genes! Trying to say you have genes, but instead what you have are jeans. 

The respect for clothing comes from a respect for your mother and father, it is they who taught you how to respect your elders, the wise. To respect your mother and thereby respecting Gd, and loving your mother, therefore loving Gd. Praising your mother and father, thereby having the ability to praise Gd.

Comfy in blue jeans on a Sunday. Sunday being a work day. Blue jeans that are clothes to get dirty, clothes that can be cleaned in soap and water. The holes keep getting bigger, holes? Or holy? Jeans without holes.

Blue? Why blue? The Jews use one blue thread on their prayer shawl tzit-tzit. The color of Gd's throne is Sapphire blue. How may blues are there? Gunmetal blue. Grayish blue. Sky blue. Light blue. Royal blue. Turquoise. Greenish-blue. Ocean blue. Levi denim blue.

Not to mix the linen with the wool. This is for Priests only. If you have this Levite Priesthood, you can mix it. The mixture of this wool and linen in one article of clothing is called Shatnez. To wear a Tallit Katan next to your skin. To love the Hebrew square knots on the tzit-tzit. Not to touch them. Practicing restraint. Not to bellow or bite like a wolf when the other wolves bark and bite. 

To use discipline from the Gevurah of the Kabbalah Sefirot. Another word describing Gevurah is "strength".

Light, might, night, knight. The holy Kohen and Levite, flying free like a kite!

Yes, comfy and free, feeling ecstatic in one's Levi blue jeans caressing the skin, especially if you really have Genes, Levi or Kohen Genes and need not to rip a hole in your clothing, just to feel at ease in the softness of this denim like wrapping a soft goose-down blanket over your body. Warmth in the coldness of the winter.

Snuggling up with Family in blue jeans, but not on a Shabbat Saturday, instead dressing in blue jeans on a Sunday. Not to need to rip them up out of hatred and anger over those who really do possess GENES. Not to "rend" your jeans, rend meaning ripping them, if a family member dies. Instead to rend your shirt at its collar, its lapel.

LEVITE GENES. What are they? To practice slowness of anger, loving-kindness, and wisdom. Freedom from coveting, not stealing. If you do not own blue GENES you can instead wear blue JEANS--Levis!

So no need to act out in jealousy. Like a polar bear's white fur blanket, peacefully wrap the denim around your legs and thank Gd for what you have.
