Another woman once said that to me. I noticed she was wearing Tzitzis out. I was curious about that and asked her, and she quoted the Mishnah B’rurah’s rant that Tzitzis should be worn out. I told her that it looks weird though and that people will think she’s Conservative. Her response was, “Is my Yiras Adam more important than my Yiras Shamayim?

Really? She thinks that she is just doing her yiras shamayim by wearing her tzitzis out?

Millions of women don’t wear tzitzis, and are fine frum people. Not a single gadol’s wife wears tzitzis out. But this woman has decided that because she is afraid of G-d, she needs to wear them out.

I don’t believe her.

Frankly, I often don’t even believe it when a guy tells me he wears tzitzis out because of Hashem; I often think he is doing it because he wants to look frum.
