[Avodah] Tzitzis on Tisha B'Av

[Cantor Wolberg]

My opinion as to why we don't kiss tzitzis on Tisa B'Av would be similar to why an aveil doesn't say "tiskabel." Also, as we don't greet one another, neither do we show affection.  Kissing the tzitzis is a way of showing affection.  Since we are collective aveilim,we are in no frame of mind to be kissing - even tzitzis.
