chapter 8

selection 1 Some have written in the name of Zohar that one who recites krias Shema without wearing tzitzes, it is as if he gave false testimony. (The Goan R' Shneur Zalman, section 8,1 in the his Shulchan Aruch Harav ,Magen Avraham,Se'if 24)

and in germara brochos page (14,side b) it says this only regarding tefillin and not tzitzes. by tefillin its understandable since it says " you should tie them..." not "on them you should tie"

but by tzitzes true, that is he's saying the portion about tzitzes, and he's not wearing them, still the obligation only applies by a garment that that has 4 corners, like it's written in selection 19

and this appears to be what the Zohar really means to say

that when one is wearing a garment that has four corners without tzitzes, besides the fact that he not fulling a positive mitzvah, this is considered false testimony-this that he is wearing a garment and he has not put tzitzes on the four corners.

and this is also implicit in the words of the zohar on parasha shelach [page 175], which says:

this that one who read kris shema without tzitzes is testifying falsely

and those individuals are traitors..., and the garments of traitors is treason, the garment of theirs which has no tzitzes is called a garment of traitors end of quote of the zohar

It is clear like how I wrote: that their garment that has no tzitzes

selection 2 and even though that the main law is like this, in any case all jewish men should be cautious to wear a Tallis katan all day

becuase the mitzvah of tzites is equal to all the mitzvahs, as it is written you will see them, and u will remember all the mitzvahs (Menachot 43b)

in the time of anger, the punishment of this is given by heaven (Menachot.41a).

all people who do this mitzvah are credited and receive the shechinah (Menachot.41a)

and in the coming future the person who wears tzites will have 2800 servants (shabbos 32 b)

this applies to all the jewish men that wear tallis katan all day and wear tallis gadol all when they they are wearing teffilin

when one wake up in the morning he should immediately wash his hand and than wrap himself in his tzites while standing (tur)

he should blessed the tzitzes standing up, just like many blessing ona mitzavah that the rabbi's relied on learning from the blessing regarding the counting of the omer that must be done standing. as it will be explain later on in

and therefore one should wrap standing, and he should say the blessing following the wrapping of the Tallis, before he dresses himself in it
