the yud is missing!
June 21, 2011 5:33 am

you guys can’t SPELL in HEBREW!! …the yud is missing in the word ציצית and has nothing to do with his wearing or not wearing tzitzit!
btw…sephardim hold the minhag of having their tzizit tucked in!!

THE TZITZIT ARENT HANDMADE
June 18, 2011 4:54 am
he has
June 17, 2011 8:02 pm

the tzitzis tucked in!
duh- stop wasting your time!!!!!!!!!! i would have them tucked in also if i was working with that machine!!!

June 17, 2011 5:06 pm

u make sense… i thought so too

MINHAG
June 17, 2011 4:00 pm

Many sephardim hold that the tzitsiz MUST be tucked in.

BH. There is nothing wrong with the photo. The photo is perfect.

hes wearign
June 17, 2011 1:45 pm

look at bigger picture (pun intented) u can see the outline of cotton tzitizis and tucked in. dan likaf zchus kids

Nothing wrong in the picture
June 17, 2011 1:40 pm

It is very dangerous to wear tzitzit openly when they can get sucked into the machinery.

dan lechaf zechus
June 17, 2011 1:27 pm

you all such am haartzim, he looks sefardi and that is their minhag based on kaballah, to wear tzitzis inside. so much for dan lechaf zechus

All those rushing to criticize
June 17, 2011 1:20 pm

Take a good look and you will see the outline of his tzitzis under his undershirt. Perhaps they are not showing as he works to close to the machinery. The only problem is in the 2nd picture where it is missing a “Yud” in the word Tzitzis

he IS wearing tzitzus!
June 17, 2011 1:05 pm

it’s just tucked in-if you look closely, u’ll realize them!

Nothing Wrong
June 17, 2011 12:54 pm

They just didn’t make the first pair yet.

June 17, 2011 12:42 pm

should know the correct spelling for tzitzit

Now thats ironic
June 17, 2011 11:54 am

In a encyclopedia entry for the word ironic, this should definitly be the example photo!

THINK and READ other comments b4 u type
June 17, 2011 11:53 am

Its probably dangerous to let the tzitzis dangle when operating the machinery. GOODNESS everyone, dont be so quick to judge!! Only urself ,ofcourse!

Only white strings and no blue ones as mandated by the Torah.

look closer
June 17, 2011 11:22 am

if yourlook at the second pic you see that he way wearing tzitzis under his shirt.

Wait a minute!!!!!!!
June 17, 2011 11:12 am

I looked a second and indeed he is wearing Tzitzis. Look at his shirt in the second picture. They are clearly underneath it. They are are just tucked in.

l'kaf z'chus.
June 17, 2011 11:11 am

How about l’kaf z’chus. Perhaps they are under his t-shirt. If they were flying around while working they could get stick in the machine

....
June 17, 2011 11:09 am

wow you r all so quick to judge. maybe he tucked them into his pants….tsk!

DUh
June 17, 2011 11:06 am

I cannot believe so many people comment on no tzitizis and most do not notice the OBVIOUS danger there would be if even ONE string would get caught in the machine. I would imagine there are GOVERNMENT laws about safety, as there are here in the US, and I’m sure that is the reason, come on people.

This should be a lesson in how we judge people without knowing the full story.

my opinion
June 17, 2011 10:59 am

Maybe they’re tucked into his pants?

we get it
June 17, 2011 10:43 am

next guy to say hes not weering tzitzis wins a prize

So what?
June 17, 2011 10:38 am

1) Some Sefardim do not wear tzitzis – they hold the tallis which they wear from bar mitzvah on is yotze the mitzvah.

2) Safety regulations may well preclude him from having his tzitzis out near machinery.

So, there is nothing wrong with the picture – only with those who judge.

near spinning machines you have to tuck in your tzitzis

tzitsis factory???
June 17, 2011 9:50 am

The gentleman ,isn’t wearing tzitis -himself!!!!
The halachlic ramifications are uncertain,the moral one is ceertain.!!! To many ‘young people” today have lost touch with tzitis, it should be encouraged ,after teffillin,when possible esspesiably after kashrus and Shabbos.
Good shabos,

June 17, 2011 9:35 am

Tzitzis (especially in chassidus) represents action and he wares no tzitzis himself.

You probably mean that he doesn't have tZitzit...
June 17, 2011 8:26 am

…but you would be wrong. They are obviously tucked in in order that they not get caught in the gears of the machine.

No tzitzis?
June 17, 2011 8:24 am

It seems as if he is not wearing tzitzis, however, maybe… they are tucked in so that they don’t get caught in the machine.

maybe
June 17, 2011 8:24 am

June 17, 2011 7:53 am

where’s his Tzizis?

Nothing
June 17, 2011 7:50 am

If you mean that his tzitzis are not showing, that is because it is dangerous to have them flying around near machinery where they could be trapped and cause him to be strangled or worse! same applies to ties.

???????
June 17, 2011 6:48 am

i hope this is not because you cant see the workers tzitzis because if you’ve ever worked around such machinery you would know that you have to tuck your tzitzis in so that they dont c”v get caught in the machine and possiblly kill you

where is his Taalis Koten???

seemingly is not wearing Tzitzis himself. Although it may be tucked in, and is thus forbidden for one to make such an assumption on a Jew.
See Lekutei Sichos 33 Shlach [this weeks Parsha] that some of the Rabbeim themselves would wear their Tzitis tucked in

He doesn't seem to be wearing Tzitzis

June 17, 2011 3:53 am

He seems not to be wearing a Talis koton. I am sure that he is wearing tztzis under his tee shirt and since he is working around machinery he must for safety reasons be tucked in.

huh? i'm confused...what do u mean "what is wrong?"

Not wearing tzitzis himself..that’s funny lol

:-)
June 17, 2011 2:50 am

He is not wearing Tzitzis.

The funny thing is, I noticed before reading the caption.

While there are many heterim to not wear tzitzis in such circumstance, nonetheless, I am proud to be a Lubavitcher (not all chasidim are as meticulous as us) and that this is incredibly noticeable. For this one, I fully credit the Chinuch I received.

Anyone knows me (or recognizes my smiley face), is aware that I generally express alternative (or none faltering) position towards the system.
