# One | # One need not make a new bracha after bathing. However, it is preferable to have in mind while making the bracha in the morning only to cover the [[Tzitzit]] until that point in time and therefore then after bathing a new bracha would be required. <Ref> Beiur Halacha s.v. VeYesh quotes Artzot HaChaim 8:86 in name of the Kol Eliyahu 2:2 to say that a new bracha is needed for bathing, however, Beiur Halacha writes that the minhag is not to make a new bracha, and concludes that it is better to have in mind not to cover the wearing of [[Tzitzit]] after bathing and then one can make the bracha afterwards again. So writes [[Tzitzit]] Halacha Pesuka by Rav Tzvi Kohen 8:80. </ref> However, if one bathed for a long time (and removed one’s mind from [[Tzitzit]]) one should make a new bracha. <Ref> Sh”t Tzitz Eliezer 13:4, Sh”t Bear Moshe 6:4(11), Ben Ish Chai Beresheet 10, and Kaf HaChaim 8:56 hold that for bathing which takes a long time one is required to make a new bracha, whereas, tevilah, which is short does not require a new Bracha. See Torat Chaim Sofer 8:23. </ref> | ||
## If one | ## If one did not have this kavana(intention) of the bracha only being valid until one bathes, but usually does have that intention, it is assumed that one's kavana was one's normal practice <ref> Sharei [[Teshuva]] 8:15, [[Tzitzit]] by Rav tzvi Kohen 8:80 </ref> and therefore one makes a new bracha when putting the [[Tzitzit]] back on. | ||

# If one removed one’s [[tallit]] for [[Kiddish]] before [[Mussaf]] no new Bracha is needed. <ref> Halichot Yisrael (Siman 4 pg 18-9) quotes Rav Gustman who says that if one took off a [[tallit]] to have [[kiddish]] before tekiyot [[shofar]] on ראש השנה shouldn’t make a new Bracha since he probably intended according to the minhag to put it back on after [[kiddish]]. This is also the opinion of Piskei Teshuvot 8:23(3). [Halichot Yisrael (pg 18) writes that Rav Aharon Kotler once made a new Bracha after a short [[kiddish]], however there he gives many explanations for this incident.] See Sh”t Chelkat Yacov 1:105 who writes about a minhag to remove one’s [[tallit]] for a couple of hours in order to go home for [[kiddish]] and learn before [[Mussaf]], and concludes that since there’s a doubt, one should fold one’s [[tallit]] before going home so that you can make a new Bracha upon returning. ([[Tzitzit]] Halacha Pesuka by Rav Tzvi Kohen 8:72 argues that it won’t work since you do plan to put it back on!). </ref> | # If one removed one’s [[tallit]] for [[Kiddish]] before [[Mussaf]] no new Bracha is needed. <ref> Halichot Yisrael (Siman 4 pg 18-9) quotes Rav Gustman who says that if one took off a [[tallit]] to have [[kiddish]] before tekiyot [[shofar]] on ראש השנה shouldn’t make a new Bracha since he probably intended according to the minhag to put it back on after [[kiddish]].
