Berochoh on Tzitzis

Date Asked: 7-Jan-08

Question

When I go running I put on a different pair of tzitzis - an old pair that I don't mind getting sweaty. Do I make a new berochoh of al mitzvas tzitzis on them? If I then change back to the tzitzis I had been wearing that morning, do I make a berochoh again?


Answer

Since you are changing from one garment to another and back to the first with a significant break in between, you should make a berochoh every time you put on the tzitzis. In general it is advisable to have kavonoh that the berochoh of tzitzis apply only until you remove your tzitzis. (See O.C. 8:14 and Biur Halochoh).
