Tzitzit: Difference between revisions

# If the strings of one's Tzitzit tear but an amount of [[#See also|Kdei Aniva]](meaning, enough to tie a knot) is still remaining then the Tzitzit are considered kosher and one may make a bracha on them. However, it is ideal to fix the Tzitzit. <ref> Halacha Berura 12:1 </ref>

# The Shulchan Aruch brings two opinions regarding where the starting point of [[#See also|Kdei Aniva]] needs to be. Rashi maintains that it is from the last double knot while the Ri maintains that it is from the first double knot. The mainstream custom is to hold like Rashi but one may rely on the opinion of the Ri. The Mishna Berura and the Halacha Brurah disagree regarding reliance upon the opinion of the Ri. The Mishna Brurah says that one may not make a beracha on these Tzitzit and one may not wear them outside on Shabbat in a place without an eruv. On the contrary, Halacha Brurah says that one may make a bracha on these Tzitzit and one may wear them outside on Shabbat in a place without an eruv. <ref> S"A, OC, 12:3; Mishna Berura 12:13; Halacha Berura 12:8 </ref>
