* '''Rabbeinu Tam''': Tzitzit comprise 2 techeles strings and 2 lavan strings. In order for Tzitzit to be kosher, either all of the techeles (2/4 complete strings) or all of the lavan (2/4 complete strings) must be complete. Therefore, two full strings must be the complete shiur of 12 gudalin. If all the strings were cut to the length of kdei aniva, the Tzitzit would be passul. If 2 strings tear, even if they were 2 separate strings, it is ok because there are another 2 complete strings. But if 3 strings tear (again, even if they are kdei aniva,) the tzitzit are pasul because 3 torn strings means there are not 2/4 complete strings remaining. | * '''Rabbeinu Tam''': Tzitzit comprise 2 techeles strings and 2 lavan strings.

* The Shulchan Aruch 12:1 says the halacha is really like the Rosh, but if possible (meaning if one can easily find other Tzitzit, but one should, make sure not to miss praying together with a [[minyan]] to get them-Mishna Brurah 13) it is good to be concerned and hold like Rabbeinu Tam. Mishna Brurah 12:11 says obviously it is permitted to say a bracha on Tzitzit, which are only kosher according to the Rosh. The Rama 12:1 says the minhag is like Rabbeinu Tam. The Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (9:13) codifies the opinion of the Rosh.</ref> | * The Shulchan Aruch 12:1 says the halacha is really like the Rosh, but if possible (meaning if one can easily find other Tzitzit, but one should, make sure not to miss praying together with a [[minyan]] to get them-Mishna Brurah 13) it is good to be concerned and hold like Rabbeinu Tam.
