# The Shliach Tzibbur should wear a [[Talit]] during Selichot, however, he shouldn’t make a Bracha if he puts it on at night before [[Olot HaShachar]] and to remove himself from controversy he should borrow a [[Talit]] from a friend (and not use a public [[Talit]]) and have intent that one is not acquiring the [[Talit]] it but only using for respect of the congregation. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 581:6 writes that the Levush says that the Shliach Tzibbur should wear a [[Talit]] during Selichot but not make a Bracha since there’s a dispute if one can fulfill [[Tzitzit]] at night. However, the Taz argues that one shouldn’t enter himself into a dispute (whether to make a Bracha) and so one should rather borrow a [[Talit]] from a friend and have Kavana not to acquire it but to use it for respect. </ref> | # The Shliach Tzibbur should wear a [[Talit]] during Selichot, however, he shouldn’t make a Bracha if he puts it on at night before [[Olot HaShachar]] and to remove himself from controversy he should borrow a [[Talit]] from a friend (and not use a public [[Talit]]) and have intent that one is not acquiring the [[Talit]] it but only using for respect of the congregation. <Ref> Maharil Hilchot Yamim Noraim 4 says there is a custom that the shliach tzibbur should wear a tallit even at night for selichot since the gemara in rosh hashana 17 says that Hashem wrapped himself in tzitzit like a shliach tzibbur to recite the yud gimmel middot. Mishna Brurah 581:6 writes that the Levush says that the Shliach Tzibbur should wear a [[Talit]] during Selichot but not make a Bracha since there’s a dispute if one can fulfill [[Tzitzit]] at night. However, the Taz 581:2 argues that one shouldn’t enter himself into a dispute (whether to make a Bracha) and so one should rather borrow a [[Talit]] from a friend and have Kavana not to acquire it but to use it for respect. see Mikraei Kodesh by Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank Yamim Noraim Siman 1 for the discussion of why the Taz suggests borrowing a friend's tallit rather than the shuls. </ref> | ||
# If one wear [[Tzitzit]] earlier than [[Olot HaShachar]] (for example, for Selichot) and then after [[Olot HaShachar]] (and preferably after MeSheyakir) puts on a [[Talit]], one should only make one Bracha on [[Tzitzit]] and [[Talit]] even if one puts on [[Tzitzit]] a long time before the [[Talit]]. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 8:24 writes that for sure one should make the Bracha of [[Talit]] and cover the [[Tzitzit]] rather than make a Bracha on [[Tzitzit]] and then on [[Talit]]. Even if there will be a long time between putting on the [[Tzitzit]] and wearing the [[Talit]], one should still say only one Bracha on the [[Talit]] because there are many concerns about making the Bracha on the [[Tzitzit]] (it may not be split on the sides a majority, it may not fit the proper Shuir, or one may have slept in the Tzitzit). [this is also brought in Yalkut Yosef (Tzitzit pg 294, Kitzur S”A 16:2).] </ref> | # If one wear [[Tzitzit]] earlier than [[Olot HaShachar]] (for example, for Selichot) and then after [[Olot HaShachar]] (and preferably after MeSheyakir) puts on a [[Talit]], one should only make one Bracha on [[Tzitzit]] and [[Talit]] even if one puts on [[Tzitzit]] a long time before the [[Talit]]. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 8:24 writes that for sure one should make the Bracha of [[Talit]] and cover the [[Tzitzit]] rather than make a Bracha on [[Tzitzit]] and then on [[Talit]].

# A bachur who doesn’t wear a [[Talit]] should be careful to make the Bracha on [[Tzitzit]] right after [[Olot HaShachar]] after feeling the Tzitzit. <Ref> Minchat Shlomo 4:1:3 writes that regarding Selichot a bachur who doesn’t wear a [[Talit]] should be careful to make the Bracha on [[Tzitzit]] right after Olot after feeling the Tzitzit. This is based on the Rama 18:3 who writes that if one put on a [[Talit]] Katan before [[Olot HaShachar]], then, at Olot one should feel the strings of the [[Tzitzit]] and make a Bracha. </ref> However, if someone who slept in the [[Tzitzit]] all night, one can not make a Bracha on that pair of tzitzit in the morning (nor should he remove the [[Tzitzit]] so as to make a hefsek in order to require a Bracha).<ref>Mishna Brurah 8:42 </ref> | # A bachur who doesn’t wear a [[Talit]] should be careful to make the Bracha on [[Tzitzit]] right after [[Olot HaShachar]] after feeling the Tzitzit. <Ref> Minchat Shlomo 4:1:3 writes that regarding Selichot a bachur who doesn’t wear a [[Talit]] should be careful to make the Bracha on [[Tzitzit]] right after Olot after feeling the Tzitzit.
