23 ‎[1] 23. One who walks in the cemetery needs to lift his tzitzit, in order that it not be dragged through the cemetery, as it is in (tractate) Brakhot: Rabbi Hiya and Rabbi Yonatan were walking among graves; Rabbi Yonatan’s blue wool alighted upon graves. He said to him ‘Raise it, lest they say ‘Tomorrow they come among us, yet at present they revile us,’ meaning that it appears that he reviles that they are not able to uphold the mitzvot. Learn from this that it is permissible to walk in the cemetery in clothing which contains tzitzit, provided that he take care to raise them.’ And the master Rabbenu Yonah wrote: ‘Specifically in their days, when there were four corners on all their clothing, where it is impossible that he remove his clothing when he walks to the cemetery. But we, who do not intend them as clothing, but rather as a mitzvah, it is prohibited on account of ‘rebuking the poor.’
