  1. One should buy a talit katan for a child who has reached the age of chinuch.[1]
  2. There are a variety of opinions for the age of chinuch for talit katan
    1. Some say the age of three.[2]
    2. Some say it is six or seven.[3]
    3. Others says that it is nine.[4]
  1. ↑ Shulchan Aruch O.C. 17:3. The Shulchan Aruch (17:3) does not specify an exact age, rather the idea is once a child knows how to properly wear the Tzitzit so that two strings are behind him and two in front (Rema 17:3).
    Aruch HaShulchan 17:5 asks why one is obligated to buy his child a talit, as the mitzvah of tzitzit is limited to one who is wearing a four-cornered garment. So if one doesn't have the garment, there is no requirement! Rav Simcha Bunim Cohen (Children in Halacha page 15 footnote 8) quotes the Bach s.v. katan that since the custom is that everyone wears tzitzit, one is obligated in chinuch of this custom as well.
  2. ↑ Shaare Teshuva 17:2 and Aruch HaShulchan 17:5
  3. ↑ Bach 16 s.v. umah shekasiv rabbaynu, Yalkut Yosef Dinei Chinuch Katan pg. 29
  4. ↑ Magen Avraham 16:1, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Rephael Baruch Toledano 9:2. Rav Moshe Feinstein (Igrot Moshe Y.D. 3:52:2) says that under the age of nine, the talit katan does not need the proper measurements. Aruch HaShulchan 16:5 says a talit katan has no shiur.
