Question
Is a boy who becomes Bar Mitzvah required to wear tzitzit of adult size even if it is much too large for him, or can he wear his own size?
Answer
Shalom Rav
The size, as written by the poskim, is an amah in front and an amah behind, with a width of an amah.
In contemporary measurements - 120 cm length, 60 cm width.
