Question
It apparently says in מעשה רב אות לט that minhag of the Gra was to hold two tzitzit in the shma.
In Eretz Yisrael, a number of the minhagim of the Gra are followed, so can one follow this as well?
Answer
Yes, especially when the reason is obvious and logical, that we're supposed to have 2 tztitziot in front and 2 in back.
