Bread from meat meal at dairy meal

I am a Yeshivah student, and I see that after the meat meal at the Yeshivah all the bread is collected from the tables and used again at the next dairy meal. Is this acceptable?

There are no hard and fast rules about white shirts. In general, a white shirt is considered to be a modest but respectable garment, and a person should wear clothing that is respectable.


Also, part of the day is spent standing in prayer in front of the Creator, and this certainly warrants respectable attire.


In any case, the main thing is not the external garments, but rather the spiritual ones, namely, a person’s thought, speech, and deed. Physical clothing is only a means to the end, the goal being purity of spiritual garments.
