Is the rule that tzitzit blessing is recited at wearing (rather than making) analogous to the mezuzah blessing, which is recited at affixing rather than upon entering to dwell?
Synopsis
Both tzitzit and mezuzah are personal obligations triggered by use (wearing/dwelling), yet the blessing for mezuzah is recited at affixing while the blessing for tzitzit is recited at wearing. The Acharonim explain and distinguish these cases.
