Question
Rabbi, I have a very old tallit, but once a year I replace the threads with beautiful and new ones in honor of the mitzvah. It seems to me that the mitzvah is only about the threads and not the tallit, and there is no need for the tallit to be particularly beautiful. Am I correct?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
A tallit intended only for prayer time is certainly an object of mitzvah and a respectable garment for prayer, and there is a mitzvah for the tallit itself to be beautiful.
