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.
