Adam's Torah
This podcast is recordings from classes given by Adam Sabzevari. There are episodes on the weekly Parasha and the Jewish holidays
There is also a series on the Sefer HaMitzvot, in which we go through the list of the Mitzvot.
We will learn the Sefer HaMitzvot HaKatzar (“Concise Book of Commandments”), written by Rabbi Yisrael Meir HaKohen Kagan (the Chofetz Chaim). The book is an abbreviated reworking of the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvot that only includes commandments applicable outside of Israel in the post-Temple era. ************************* Podcast Link: https://adamstorah.buzzsprout.com/
Adam's Torah
Positive #10 - To Place Tzitzit on the Corners of Our Clothing
In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #10, which is to place tzitzit, or strings / fringes, on the corners of our clothing.
If one has an article of clothing with four corners, this mitzvah is to place tzitzit on those corners.
- Materials
- From the Torah, this applies to clothing made out of wool or made out of linen.
- For other materials, such as cotton, there is a Rabbinic requirement to place tzitzit on them, but not from the Torah.
- Different types of tzitzit & their blessings
- "Tallit", or "Tallit Gadol", or Prayer Shawl, which is worn during the morning tefila
- One would recite the blessing of "lehit'atef betzitzit"
- "Tzitzit Katan", which is worn underneath ones clothing throughout the day
- We don't typically make a blessing on this, since the blessing over the Tallit Gadol covers this.
- However, if one is in a situation where they are not wearing the Tallit Gadol, one would receive the blessing of "al mitzvat tzitzit"
- "Tallit", or "Tallit Gadol", or Prayer Shawl, which is worn during the morning tefila
- Purpose of the Mitzvah
- The mitzvah of tzitzit serves as a reminder to fulfill all the other mitzvot.
