The Bottom Line it is an easy mitzvah, is hassle free, and is very rewarding.
And it shall constitute tzitzit for you, so that you may see it and remember all the commandments of HASHEM, and perform them..... (Numbers 18:49) This is one of the many places that talk about Tzitzit. Tzitzit are four-cornered garments with 8 strings on each corner. Nowadays, they are generally worn as an undershirt. However, most of our garments don't require them, but for the mitzvah, and for Fear of Heaven, we wear them anyway. Unfortunately, this practice is slowly being abandoned by young, Modern Orthodox youth. Here I will explain why I believe in Tzitzit. Tzitzit, like Kippot (skullcaps), are a symbol of Jewishness. You should go out in public and wear them outwardly with pride. Tzitzit are a reminder to fear HASHEM. They used to have a blue string on each corner, resembling the sky, for this purpose. This is a good reason to wear them, even if you don't display them. Tzitzit are one of the most-rewarding mitzvahs (commandment/good deed)in the Torah (Bible). A great rabbi died worrying that he didn't do the mitzvah properly. It's not that hard either, if you get the type that works like an undershirt. Please, it's not to hard, and it can be rewarding in this lifetime and in the next.  |
