CLD #505


For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Rav Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto wrote about powerful concepts in Judaism. One of them is in his book called Chazon Yoshiyahu, which is a collection of his daily e-mail Dvar Torahs, is about the Spiritual Power of Wearing Tzitzit.
He says like this: There are certain Mitzvot that one takes upon him/herself that their strength and segula (treasure) stands in the defense of the person in difficult times of hardships. Therefore one should take upon himself to be more consistent with these Mitzvot and influence others to follow in his/her path of strength and positive energy.
However, there is a single Mitzvah that its segulot are enormous, which is the Mitzvah of wearing a Tallit Katan (Tzitzit under your clothing). Rav Pinto brings the Kaf HaChaim (which was a Huge Talmid Chacham that came out with the Sephardic Version of the Mishnah Berurah in the early 1900’s), who wrote that Tzitzit has the spiritual force of defending someone from all the Negative and Destructive Angels! It is also written in the Zohar (Kabbalah) that whoever wears a Tzitzit is saved from the Evil Eye!
There is also a famous story in the Gemara of someone who was very stringent on always wearing Tzitzit, it would not matter if he is late for work or for class or for his shiur, he would always throw on his Tzitzit. One day he heard of a prostitute who was for the elite class customers, she cost 400 Zehuvim, which is an enormous amount of money. He traveled to her for a long time and reached her home. He entered and saw she was on top of 7 layers of beds. Six were made of pure silver and the seventh of pure gold and in between each bed there was a silver ladder that would connect the two. She went up together until they both reached the top. In the process of taking off his clothes, the customer had his tzitzit hit him across the face. He suddenly stopped the whole ritual and ended the night. Long story short this prostitute became a CONVERT!
There is another Midrash that says during the chase of David HaMelech, Shaul the current King went inside a cave to use the bathroom. During his stay, David HaMelech sneaked up on Shaul and cut off his Tzitzit! It is written in the same pamphlet that when one cuts off Tzitzit it is like cutting off the owner’s head!
The power of Tzitzit is endless. And this is only a single Mitzvah in the whole Torah!
