The author attends a religious school class where students discuss the differences between Memorial Day customs in the US and Israel. A student mentions that after Memorial Day in the US, one can wear white pants and carry white purses until Labor Day. Confused, the author asks for clarification from the teachers. He is grateful for the students' passion in teaching him about this social fashion rule. The author hopes that one day, girls will see wearing a prayer shawl (talit) as universally accepted as wearing white after Memorial Day, without needing an explanation. He dreams that mothers will take daughters shopping for their first talit with the same care as buying a dress.
