     Tallit

 
Baruch ata Adonai elohaynu melech ha'olam asher kidshanu bemitzvotav l'hitatef ba'tzitzit.
Praised are you, Lord our G-d, Sovereign of the Universe, who has made us holy with the Mitzvot and instructed us to wrap ourselves with tzitzit.

Putting on the Tallit
(1) Put the tallit on over shoulders and back
(2) Fold the Tallit over your shoulders
(3) Side view of how it looks finished

Things to remember:

1. Tallit is worn during the Shacharit (Morning Service), with the exception of Yom Kippur Kol Nidre (which is held at night and Tisha B'Av (when it is worn in the afternoon).

2. Tallit is always put on before Tefillin. This is because Tallit are worn every day and tefillin are not worn on Shabbat and Holidays.

3. Many traditional men and boys wear a Tallit Katan ( A small tallit) under their shirts all day. They use a regular tallit just during morning prayers.

4. Many people follow the custom of bringing the tzitzit to their lips and kiss them each time the word tzitzit is mentioned during the reading of the Shema.
