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.

1. 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.
2.  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"
3. Purpose of the Mitzvah
   • The mitzvah of tzitzit serves as a reminder to fulfill all the other mitzvot.
