When to gather the Tzitzis

+2
−0

In most siddurim, in the paragraph before Shema of Ahavah Rabah, before the words וַהֲבִיאֵנוּ לְשָׁלוֹם it says to gather the Tzitzis and put them in your left hand.

Does that mean to:

A. Pause davening before that Pasuk, gather the Tzitzis, and then continue davening
B. Gather the Tzitzis while saying the Pasuk of וַהֲבִיאֵנוּ לְשָׁלוֹם
C. Say the Pasuk of וַהֲבִיאֵנוּ לְשָׁלוֹם and then gather the Tzitzis

B. Gather the Tzitzis while saying the Pasuk of וַהֲבִיאֵנוּ לְשָׁלוֹם

Why? Because the next words are מֵאַרְבַּע כַּנְפות הָאָרֶץ "from the four corners of the Earth". We connect "four corners" of this phrase with the "four corners" of the Tzitzis, which are often called אַרְבַּע כַּנְפות from the Pasuk גְּדִלִים, תַּעֲשֶׂה-לָּךְ, עַל-אַרְבַּע כַּנְפוֹת כְּסוּתְךָ, אֲשֶׁר תְּכַסֶּה-בָּהּ (Devarim 22:12).
