Can you imagine, the next morning, when this yid put on his newly acquired talis katan, the kavanas he had. Firstly, can we even fathom to don a pair of $20,000 tzitis. Second, why is he machshiv Rav Elyashiv? So he now gets to connect to the Talmid Chacham/Tzadik which in turn connects him to God on a higher level then he can achieve on his own. Thirdly, he is not just wrapping his body in tzitzis, he is wrapped in the tremendous zechusim of tezdakah, hachnassas kallah, shviras tavas mamon, etc. etc etc. Ashrechah!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-13165264929717645702011-03-29T16:32:52.820+02:002011-03-29T16:32:52.820+02:00do you think he'll wear them?
