Prayer Posture, Preparations, Time and Place
#10
Director Michael Wrote:Adam and Chava (Eve) were allowed to stand naked in prayer only before they ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. (Gen. 2:25)

After the evil inclination had entered into them, it was henceforth shameful for them to stand naked before G-d (Gen. 3:10), and therefore G-d taught them to wear clothing. (Gen. 3:21)

In a similar context, one who goes naked in public is disqualified from serving as a witness in a Noahide court.

Some non-Jews find fault with a prophet of God walking around in public nude. I forget which one. Elijah, maybe?
Anyway, how can I answer this question of why a prophet would do such a thing?
