The physical job of the gartel is to attach the clothing to the body, thereby lending the individual a more composed appearance. The human body is comprised of the lofty brain, the exalted heart, the wondrous respiratory system. It has as well lower functions, systems to clear the body of waste, etc. When we daven and serve G-d with our hearts, the gartel serves to separate the higher parts of the body from the lower, meaning, by wearing the gartel, the heart can’t see the lower parts of the body-there is a disconnection from the heart to the physical desires, and the person becomes pure and holy.If you have any questions, please give us a call at: 718.312.8613. We will be happy to help you.
