How do you put on a tallit? A tallit (or tallis) is the ceremonial Jewish prayer shawl worn during services. Rabbi Steven Exler demonstrates the rules and customs of wearing a tallit.
Here is the blessing:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הַעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר קִדְשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ לְהִתְעַטֵּף בְּצִיצִית
Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha’olam, asher kiddeshanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu l’hitatef b’tzitzit.
Keep My Jewish Learning free. Passover may be over, but your chance to support Jewish connection isn't. Help make sure that anyone seeking Jewish wisdom can find it here, without needing to cross the red sea (or a paywall).
Blessed are You, Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, who blesses us with commandments and commanded us to wrap ourselves in tzitzit.
