Question

How open is too open for a tee shirt regarding the shoulders? I understand both the boundaries for the back and front, but I have a problem with the sides. Thanks.

Answer

There are differing standards but it should certainly not be more than a tefach (8 centimeters) from the neck. Many communities allow much less.
