Hallo Jono and Joel,
thanks again for an interesting broadcast. I have a question about tzittzits. Most Jews wear white ones, but recently I met a rabbi who was wearing white and blue ones, just like those shown in the photo presenting this broadcast.
Do the colors point to specific streams/sects of Judaism or is it just a matter of aestethics?
Can someone wear orange or red or green tzitzits if he likes?
Bye for now,
Elena
Great discussion, as always! But I wouldn’t be too quick to bash the micro-tallit. I wouldn’t personally wear one, but I think it captures the Spirit of the command (wearing something that has four corners/sides that tzitzit with a string of blue can hang from and remind the wearer of God’s commands to do them). Plus, it seems to be a great first step to get some people who are new to Torah to wear tzitzit while everything in their life is changing. To some, the culture difference is a big deal. Baby steps are better than no steps.
