Question
I would like to ask what I should do if I mistakenly put on the tefillin before the tallit? B. When I wear a tallit (after marriage), should I bless the tallit katan? C. What is the proper way to wrap the tallit?
Answer
A. One who reached for the tefillin before the tallit should put it on first, as one should not pass over the commandments.
B. When wearing a tallit gadol, one should intend for the blessing to cover the tallit katan as well, and not bless it separately.
C. There is a difference between Ashkenazi and Sephardic customs.
According to Ashkenazi custom, the tallit is placed so that the head and shoulders are covered, as well as a bit of the back, and the tallit is drawn over the face up to the mouth.
According to Sephardic custom, the tallit is placed over the shoulders, and the face is not covered.
For all customs, both sides of the tallit are gathered together and placed on the shoulder.
