#5657 Now Know the Snow!
Question
Dear Rov. If I go to shul on Shabbat, when it is snowing a storm and I don’t want to make wet the shul and molest others, can I shake the snow from my coat before I enter. Does it make a difference if it is a plastic raincoat or regular absorbing clothing?
Answer
Poskim agree that it does indeed. Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a is similar.
