Question
Is it necessary to wear a gartel when there is no place for a belt in the pants, due to the requirement of preparation?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
It is necessary to wear a belt during prayer due to the requirement of 'Prepare to meet your God, O Israel' (Amos 4:12).
And if he does not have a belt, even if his body is covered and his heart does not see the nakedness, he must gird himself with a belt.
