Is a borrower obligated to attach tzitzit to a borrowed tallit that lacks them?
Synopsis
All authorities agree: a borrower is biblically exempt from attaching tzitzit to a borrowed tallit for 30 days. After 30 days, he is obligated on a rabbinic level because the tallit appears to be his. The 30 days must be consecutive; returns during the period do not combine.
