MITZVAH NUMBER THREE - WHICH SHOE DO WE PUT ON FIRST?

BS"D So after we have washed our hands and thanked HaShem for looking after our bodily needs so well, most of us get dressed at this point in our morning. The Code of Jewish laws, which we call Shulchan Aruch in Hebrew, teaches us everything we need to know in order to act as a Jewish person should. It is our guide book to a Jewish way of life. On page 6 is outlines the rules for how we get dressed in the morning:

…when dressing ourselves, we must always give preference to the right hand or foot, over the left; but when removing shoes and other articles of apparel, the left comes first…When our shoes have laces, we first put the shoe on the right foot without lacing it, then we put the one of the left and lace it, and afterward we lace the one of the right. The method of dressing also applies to all other articles of clothing.
