How is it possible for a man to take a pair of kosher tzitzis that are of proper size for him, remove one of the four
whatever-the-correct-word-for-one-of-the-string-arrangements-is,
and wear it in the normal fashion, without further modifying or damaging it, in the daytime, and yet not be mevatel the mitzvah
of tzitzis?
By wearing another pair with it.
If he’s an eved or goy.
For a Yid, though, each beged with four corners requires tzitzis.
????, ????
It is better for a Yid to not wear any four-cornered garment with tzitzis (i.e. he wears no tzitzis) than for him to wear a four-cornered garment with posul tzitzis. There is no chiyuv to wear a four-corner garment with tzitzis. But there is a chiyuv to wear kosher tzitzus on a four-corner garment being worn. So if he isn’t wearing any tzitzus he is committing no aveira. If he is wearing posul tzitzis he is committing an aveira.
It can be a daytime that he is not allowed to add the 4th tzitzis such as Shabbos.
It could be so hot that he gets no enjoyment from wearing the garment.
He wears it thrown on as one does a blanket, not like a piece of clothing?
By removing the fringe through rounding off the corner of the Beged.
By folding it and wearing it around the neck, like a scarf?
According to many Rishonim (and the Rama in the Darchei Moshe, I think), the correct answer is that it’s Shabbos/Yom Tov.
It’s a ???? ?????? ????? and according to the ??”?.
Sam, he wouldn’t be allowed to remove it.
PAA, he said it’s “a pair of kosher tzitzis”. I wouldn’t consider a ???? ???? according to the ??”? to be that.
Randomex, you are correct (that the riddle was a mistake).
PAA, he said it’s “a pair of kosher tzitzis”. I wouldn’t consider a ???? ???? according to the ??”? to be that.
I assume he meant that mitzad the strings it was kosher, but that the answer would be a situation in which the begged didn’t require tzitzis. Actually, on Friday I typed up a post to clarify if that is what he meant, and I also made the eved suggestion, but for some reason I didn’t post it.
Then we could have posited a case where the material was not subject to the chiyuv.
Also if he is in public and it would be embarrassing he is not Mevatel the Mitzvah. The Rama speaks this out.
Oh. He’s talking about a corpse. That’s the normal fashion for a corpse.
