HALACHICALLY APPROPRIATE FOR SACRED USE – According to Halacha, “It’s good to be careful not to cut the tzitzit with a knife, as it is said to not use an iron on them.” The Mishnah is clear on its teaching that tzitzit threads should not be cut with iron because they are similar to an altar in prolonging life – just as no iron tool would be waved on the altar since iron shortens life while the altar lengthens it, so too should tzitzit be treated with the same care.
