People wear wool tzitzit because they want to be doing a מצוה דאורייתא according to all opinions. Is it a worthwile chumra to keep?
That’s totally up to you. I never heard the Rabbi encourage anyone to wear wool. As a matter of fact, he would occassionally give out Tzitzit and they were cotton.
The Rabbi himself did wear wool as I recall.
Thank you
About 20 years ago @Mbitton showed the Rabbi woolen tzitit that were very light weight and comfortable. The Rabbi liked it and ask him to purchase several pairs for himself.
Other than that, the Rabbi didn’t wear woolen.
Where can I find these lightweight woolen tzitzit?
No idea. It was in Israel about 20 years ago.
If it had the appearance of a classic wool tallit katan, the description may correspond to what is called ‘kalit’ tzitzit (from mishkan hatchelet, a famous israel brand), 30% lighter than the classic wool ones. And indeed, it is much lighter and more comfortable.
