Kashrut

At Soto Tzitzit, all our clothing designs are 100% Kosher and meet the halachic requirements of a four-cornered garment.

The Four-Cornered Garment

We collaborated closely with Eretz Hemdah, an institute for advanced Jewish studies, to ensure that every product meets the highest halachic standards. Each design underwent rigorous halachic research and multiple refinements before reaching the final version, deemed fully suitable (Kosher) for the attachment of Tzitzit. Their thorough examination confirms that our garments comply with all halachic requirements for bearing Tzitzit according to Jewish law.

The Tzitzit Threads – “Ptilim”

All Tzitzit threads (Ptilim) used in our garments are of medium thickness and handcrafted under the strict supervision of Badatz – Beit Yosef. We source our Tzitzit threads exclusively from Mishkan Hatchelet, ensuring the highest standards. The spinning, twisting, and tying of the Ptilim are performed by observant Jews with the express intent of fulfilling the mitzvah of Tzitzit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Tzitzit Kosher?

For Tzitzit to be Kosher, the garment must have four corners, and the threads must be spun, twisted, and tied with proper kavanah (intent). This is a simplified explanation, as there are many detailed halachic requirements regarding the fabric, size, and method of tying. A full halachic response by Eretz Hemdah is included.

Do I make a blessing when getting dressed?

If you are putting on Tzitzit in the daytime, you recite the blessing “על מצוות ציצית” (Al Mitzvat Tzitzit). However, the blessing is only said during the day, and not at night.

How are the Tzitzit threads tied?

Our Tzitzit are hand-tied by yeshiva students who perform the mitzvah with full intent (kavanah) while immersed in Torah study, ensuring each pair is crafted with both halachic precision and deep spiritual devotion.

Are the shirts still Kosher when the buttons on the side are closed?

Yes, the shirts are still Kosher when the side buttons are closed, as long as the buttons can be easily opened by hand, which Soto Tzitzit design ensures.
