Reply To: BIGGEST JEWISH DEBATE: DO YOU WASH YOUR TZITZIS???

There is a story about the Chasam Sofer who asked to test the bochurim’s reaction, how do you sweep out your room? Viazo kertmen aus die shtieb? The bochurim, figuring the Chasam Sofer is asking, looked all over Shulchan Aruch for the halacha. A young boy got up and said, with a broom, mit a besem. Sometimes we ask the obvious. Why do you wash the tzitzis? Because it is dirty. The problem is not the garment but tbe tzitzis that gets entangled.
