Tallit Cleaning
Question
Shalom,
How can I clean my Tallit? Can I put it into the washing machine?
thanks
Answer
There isn't any prohibition to clean a Tallit or a Tzitzit. However, if you stick it in to the washing machine the Tzitzyot- strigs might unravel. If you put the Tallit in a special net and than in to the washing machine it might solve the problem.
another suggestion would be to simply hand wash the Tallit or have it dry cleaned.
All the best,
Rabbi Binyamin Bamberger
