#5199 –Jail Bait?
Question
See question above. If I’m visiting someone imprisoned doing time and can bring something for them as often some correctional institutions permit, should I get for them Tzitzis and Tefilin?
Answer
Yes indeed if one can provide Tzitzis, Tefilin, Torah material or any other possibility to perform any mitzva in the occasion and time needed when a fellow Jew is imprisoned and provide so much needed spiritual relief, he should so do and the merit is truly great and worthy.
