Tzitzit
Question
Hello Michi, I noticed that you make a point of wearing your tzitzit out, so why do you do that? In your view, is there a halakhic aspect to the matter?
Answer
I assume you didn’t mean “fun,” although that too is part of it. The custom is to go with the tzitzit out, and that’s what I do. I don’t think it is really a halakhic obligation, though see Orach Chayim, siman 8, se'if 11, in the Rema.
Discussion on Answer
I referred you to the Rema. What isn’t clear here? Is there some obligation to follow the majority of the world? Or perhaps a prohibition against going with the tzitzit out?
Obviously I didn’t mean fun.
What do you mean by “the custom is to go with the tzitzit out"?
A Jewish custom?
An ancestral custom?
The overwhelming majority went and still go with the tzitzit inside.
