Tzitzit

Hi,

Today we begin a new topic, the Mitzvah of wearing "Tzitzit."

Tzitzit, also known as Arba Kanfot, are four-cornered garments with strings on each corner. The Mitzvah of wearing Tzitzit is detailed in Bamidbar 15:37-41.

One should don Tzitzit as part of dressing in the morning; this set of tzitzit is often called "Tallit Katan," or "mini-tallit," One stands, holding the tzitzit before himself, as he recites the blessing. Then he wraps the tzitzit around himself, and then he dons them as he will wear them.

(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 8:1; Mishneh Berurah 8:2)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
