# One shouldn't say Shema without wearing Tefillin.<ref>Gemara Brachot 14b, S"A 25:4</ref> However, if can't put them on because one is traveling and it is too difficult to put them on or because one doesn't have them, one shouldn't miss saying Kriyat Shema because of not having Tefillin on.<ref>Mishna Brurah 25:14</ref> | |||
# There is a practice to gather all four Tzitziyot when one gets to the words “MeArbah Kanfot HaAretz”<ref> Halacha Brurah (24:6 and 60:5) writes that one should take the four corners of the [[tzitzit]] when one reaches the words “MeArbah Kanfot HaAretz”. </ref> or "Maher Vaheve Alenu"<ref> Kaf HaChaim 24:8 quotes Shaar HaKavanot who writes that at the words "Maher Vaheve Alenu" one should arrange his [[tzitzit]] so that two corners are in front and two in the back. Afterwards, one should take all four corners in one's left hand. Ben Ish Chai Parashat Shemot Halacha 5 agrees. see also [http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/5803/jewish/Sivan-22.htm chabad.org] for the Chabad minhag </ref> and hold them in your left hand. When one gets to third paragraph of Shema one transfers the strings into one’s right hand <ref> Pri Megadim Eshel Avraham 24:1, Mishna Brura 24:4 </ref>, or both hands <ref> Kaf HaChaim 24:8 </ref> while holding onto the knots with one’s left hand until “VeNemanim VeNechmadim Laad” when one kisses the [[tzitzit]] and lets go of the tzitziyot. <ref> Mishna Brura 24:4, S"A Harav 24:4, Magen Avraham 24:1, Kitzur S"A 17:7, Kaf HaChaim 24:8, 18, Halacha Berura 24:6. According to Ben Ish Chai Shemot Halacha 8, Kaf Hachaim 24:8 one should kiss them before letting go. Tzitz Eliezer 13:3 writes that one who doesn't gather the [[tzitzit]] and kiss them during kriat shema is breaking away from the congregation. Maaseh Rav Siman 39 says that the GR"A would not kiss his [[Tzitzit]] during Keriyat Shema </ref> This is true for a blind man as well. <ref> Mishna Brura 24:7 </ref> | # There is a practice to gather all four Tzitziyot when one gets to the words “MeArbah Kanfot HaAretz”<ref> Halacha Brurah (24:6 and 60:5) writes that one should take the four corners of the [[tzitzit]] when one reaches the words “MeArbah Kanfot HaAretz”. </ref> or "Maher Vaheve Alenu"<ref> Kaf HaChaim 24:8 quotes Shaar HaKavanot who writes that at the words "Maher Vaheve Alenu" one should arrange his [[tzitzit]] so that two corners are in front and two in the back.
