Hayom Yom 14 Sivan - Blessing when putting on a tallis katan in the morning


Listen Later

בִּלְבִישַׁת טַלִּית קָטָן בַּבּוֹקֶר

When putting on a tallis katan in the morning —

בְּיָדַיִם נְקִיּוֹת וּבְמָקוֹם שֶׁמּוּתָּר לְבָרֵךְ

if one’s hands are pure and he is in a place where it is permitted to recite a blessing —

"מְבָרְכִים "עַל מִצְוַת צִיצִית

he should conclude the blessing with the words, …al mitzvas tzitzis, 

כֵּיוָן שֶׁאֵין בְּטַלִּית קָטָן שֶׁלָּנוּ שִׁעוּר עִטּוּף

since a tallis katan of the kind we wear is not large enough to enable one to enwrap himself in it. 

אִם אָסוּר לְבָרֵךְ

If [while dressing in the morning one is in a place where] it is forbidden to recite a blessing,

אֲזַי קוֹדֶם הַתְּפִלָּה

then before [one starts] the Morning Service

אִם אֵינוֹ לוֹבֵשׁ טַלִּית גָּדוֹל

if one does not wear a tallis gadol [while praying],

יְמַשְׁמֵשׁ בְּד' צִיצִיּוֹתָיו וִיבָרֵךְ אָז

he should handle the four tzitziyos  and recite the blessing […al mitzvas tzitzis] at that time.
