The corners of the tallit

Hi,

The holes in the corners of the tzitzit or tallit garment, through which the tzitzit-strings are looped, may be no more than 3 inches from the edge - otherwise the strings cannot be said to go "through the garment's corner," which is a biblical requirement.

(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 11:9; Mishneh Berurah 11:41)

Chag chanukah sameach,
Mordechai
