Bo – I think not!
The Gaon Rav Aharchik- Bekesht would give a mussar shmues every leil Shabbos for the bachurim when he was Rov in Lomze. When they came to his house on Shabbos Parshas Bo, they found him pacing up and down and muttering to himself:
“What was Pharoh thinking while all these miracles were taking place in front of his eyes?!”
Suddenly he stopped and turned to the bachurim and exclaimed:
“I have it! He was not thinking about anything! This is the only way possible that he could remain unaffected by the miracles.”
Good Shabbos,
Rabbi Cohen
Advanced Halachic Bulletin
Tags that are sewn or stapled to a garment and are not plainly visible (i.e. it is attached to the inside of the garment, or to a portion of the garment that will be tucked in when worn) are considered subordinate to the garment and thereby acquire the same status as the garment itself, and may therefore be worn outside even a reshus harabim. However, if the tag is attached to a portion of the garment that is visible (and therefore embarrassing to wear) it would be considered a masui (burden) and may not be worn outside on Shabbos.
Furthermore, one should not remove labels or tags on Shabbos that are sewn or stapled to the garment because they are attached by a means of a form of tofer and removing them is therefore a form of koraya. Even if one can open the staple and remove the tag without tearing the tag, it should not be done on Shabbos.

SHABBOS: THE 48 WAYS

Bill Gross’s “Dose of InspirAISHon” from two weeks ago:
A tale of two brothers
One brother is the brother of a friend of mine who made aliyah a few years ago with his family. The brother lives in SoCal and when I went to his house it was dominated by the XMas tree, cards, and "festive" mood.
The other brother is my own, whom I took that week to LAX as he made aliyah. 10 years prior we invited him for his first Shabbos meal. The meal we served was modest, but it came from my wife's heart and was our best way of honoring Shabbos. He came late, left early, and was on the cell phone during the meal; we were so disappointed. But, Hashem only needed us to make our effort, and he took care of the rest.
Since then I have come to understand that the Aish community only has to make its best effort, and Hashem will support His children along the spiritual path. See the results of our simple invitation to a Shabbos dinner!
