Question
As is known, one should recite a blessing on commandments before performing them. But regarding a small tallit (tzitzit), should one also do so, or should the blessing be recited after wearing it? Is this different from a large tallit, where the blessing is recited before wearing?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
According to the law, there is no difference between tzitzit and other commandments.
However, in practice, often when wearing the tzitzit, the hands are not yet clean, or one is in a bathroom where blessings cannot be recited.
Therefore, if the wearer cannot bless at that moment, they should wear it, and after cleaning their hands and being ready for the blessing, they should bless on it.
