And Place Upon The Tzitzis

טיב הקהילה English | December 31, 2025

Moreinu HaRav relates: At the end of a day of receiving people, one young man remained in the house. He only spoke English. No Yiddish, no Hebrew, so I needed a translator. Just then two older boys came up, ordinarily I would have turned them away since the time for receiving people had passed, but they spoke English, and so literally with hashgacha pratis they came specifically to translate. I saw that the boy did not have tzitzis and I asked them to explain to the young man the importance of the mitzvah, that every moment a Jew wears tzitzis he fulfills five mitzvos, since tzitzis is written in the Torah five times, and how is it possible to lose out on a mitzvah like this?! The young man thought about it, accepted it, and I gave him tzitzis I had in the house.

They had the hashgacha that I received them despite the time, and the young man who accepted upon himself the mitzvah of tzitzis, they would surely guard him and bring him great bracha in life.
