The Requirement of the Majority of an Open Slit To Constitute a Corner

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

we mentioned uh we're talking about basically undershirt situs. So we said the issue with it is that in order for it to have four corners, it has to be mostly open. In other words, uh often what the way the undershirt sits works are they have sleeves. They're closed under the arm and then they're open. They're slit open. But you need the majority of the height to be open. If it's not mostly open, it's not. And we're not gonna count the sleeve And we're not gonna count the sleeve part, meaning the the hole that you stick your arms through is not counted. So, it needs to be open besides the hole that you put your arms through. However, besides that, it needs to be obviously open because if it's royopen, but it's not clear to the onlooker that it's royopen, then there's an issue of marasa, which is interesting. It's a talis kan. If you're wearing it under your shirt, nobody sees. I guess that wouldn't be an issue. uh it I guess that wouldn't be an issue. uh it would it would only be an issue if you're wearing it over your over your sleeves or or maybe even if you're wearing it under if it's actual there is an idea that um something that you couldn't do out in the open even it's a problem by so the says that you have to make sure that when it is it's Okay.
