0:00 Regarding Shabbos clothing: basically, in Tractate Peah in the Yerushalmi, in the eighth chapter, halachah seven, almost at the end of the tractate, Rabbi Chanina says: a person needs to have two cloaks, one for weekdays and one for Shabbos. Two cloaks. Also in Tractate Shabbos, page 113. Also the Shulchan Aruch... the Rambam in Hilchos Shabbos, chapter 30, halachah 3: the Rambam ruled that one should change his garment, that his garment be Shabbos clothing and not weekday clothing. The Shulchan Aruch, in siman 262, se'if 2, also ruled as halachah that one should try to have nice clothes for Shabbos. 'He should try', that is how it is written in the Shulchan Aruch, 'he should try'. In Tractate Nedarim, page 25b, the Magen Avraham, in siman three hundred and...
0:40 in Tractate Nedarim, page 25b, and the Magen Avraham brings it in siman 341, se'if 1. The Magen Avraham brings what is written in Tractate Nedarim, page 25b, that all vows are released for a person, it is there at the end of the second side of the page: they release a person, they annul for him all the vows he made, for the honor of Shabbos. So the Magen Avraham adds a chiddush: not only with food and drink. If he has a garment that he wanted to wear in honor of Shabbos, the Magen Avraham says, it is permitted to annul such a vow for him, because the Magen Avraham brings it.
1:09 That is how it is: all the vows are annulled. And the garment that is in honor of Shabbos: there is, in Bava Kamma, page 37a, in Tosafos, a difference between Rashi and Tosafos, in Bava Kamma, page 37a, regarding an ox that is mu'ad, established as one that gores, on Shabbos. An ox that is established to gore on Shabbos: there is an ox that is established to gore on Shabbos; it gores every Shabbos. If it gores on a weekday, he pays half the damage.
1:35 If it gores on Shabbos, he pays the full damage. So there is a difference between Rashi and Tosafos. Rashi says: because it is now sitting idle, they take it out of its harness, now it can gore. So it is used to this, because now they have taken its yoke off it, it becomes a wild ox, it gores. Tosafos say something completely different.
2:15 Tosafos say something completely different. Tosafos say: because people look to it like strangers, changed, because they are dressed in unfamiliar clothing. In the Yerushalmi, chapter 6, halachah 2, already in the Talmud Yerushalmi, there is a difference between the Korban HaEdah and the Pnei Moshe, regarding clothing, regarding the sandal: 'A man may not go out in a nail-studded sandal.' And the Korban HaEdah says: what about the nail-studded sandal? If one had to have a sandal, then one goes out in it both on a weekday and on Shabbos. Why does it say one may not go out on Shabbos in a nail-studded sandal? What is it about the sandal? Because that was the decree: they went into a cave, they pressed against one another, they were frightened, each one trampled the other, and the next, and so they bled, and so they died inside the cave, from the nail-studded sandal.
2:50 So it says one may not go out in a nail-studded sandal on Shabbos. So he says, the Korban HaEdah: yes, 'one may not go out on Shabbos in a nail-studded sandal' is simple; one does not need to go out on Shabbos with a sandal. So he says, simply, he says: one does not need a sandal for the weekday; one does not go out in it on Shabbos. That is the Korban HaEdah. The Ben Ish Chai, in Responsa Rav Pe'alim, part 4, siman 13, also wrote, in Responsa Rav Pe'alim, he wrote that one does not go out on Shabbos... one does not need to wear special shoes for Shabbos. He brings it from the nail-studded sandal: one does not need special shoes. The Gra, in Maaseh Rav, section 145: his practice was to wear all his clothes new in honor of Shabbos. That is a hiddur, an enhancement.

3:21 The Pnei Moshe writes something different on the Yerushalmi. The Pnei Moshe asks, in wonder: what difference is there whether one wears Shabbos clothes or not? Why? He says, with the sandal, he says: if one does not go out in a nail-studded sandal on Shabbos, then 'one may not go out in a nail-studded sandal on Shabbos' implies that one does need this. On Shabbos. So he says it in a tone of wonder: how can that be? So one does have to go out in a nail-studded sandal on a weekday? One does not. Why would one have to go out in it on a weekday? It says on a weekday... on Shabbos; it implies that one does need special shoes in honor of Shabbos. But that is already a higher level.
