a tie

  Rosh Yeshiva calls the yeshiva together to lecture them about an important matter. What is it? That everyone must wear a tie. He says that klal yisroel, even the sefardim, has taken on the custom of the tie, so unless your community is chassidish - in which case you must obey their customs - you must wear a tie.

Let's examine this nonsense. Most of klal  yisroel is not torah observant and doesn't wear ties. So if we are talking about frum jews, well, the MOs largely don't wear ties either, especially in israel. sefardim don't wear ties either. i was in a sefardic shul this week, half the guys had t-shirts. 

Does he mean the rabbis of the sefardim and the modern who have been bashed around by the Manalist rabbis? well the senior sefardim wear sefardic garb. and the rabbis are not klal yisroel anyway.

And this idea of doing what klal yisroel does. Does that apply to nonsense like a tie, which is the most goyish of clothing items anyway. A tie has no function. So is wearing one even allowed? It's unccomfortable too. It's largely just imitating a style.

so this guy is a ry and he has no idea how the world works, he just wants obedience and he makes you feel as if you are obligated to be obedient to him
