Tallit and Tzitzit

You are here:
< Back

Dear Rabbi Simon,
I make a Bracha on my tallis gadol to cover my tallis katan too (as per the Halacha).
But if I take my tzitzit off during the day for a while (for legitimate reason like exercise) do I make a Bracha on it when I put it back on?
Tal

Dear Tal,
In my view, you should. My recommendation is that when you make aברכה  on your Tallis in the morning, you should have in mind that it will be “in effect” for your tzitzit until you take them off (if you do). Then you need to make a new beracha (as per above).
Rabbi Rashi Simon

Ask the Rabbi: Quinoa on Pesach
Dear Rabbi Simon,
Where do you stand on quinoa (and the kitniyot ban) for Pesach?
Many thanks,
Tzippy

Dear Tzippy,
In line with other American authorities, I am in favour of quinoa. Although I reject completely the voices (mostly from Israel) seeking to abolish the ban on kitniyot entirely, IMO we do not need to include in the prohibition pseudo-grains that were unknown in the Old World until modern times. Best to buy with a Pesach hechsher though, to be free of any possible wheat contamination.
