Line 38: Line 38:
# If one sleeps at night in [[Tzitzit]], there is a disagreement amongst poskim as to whether one needs to make a bracha in the morning since one has never taken one's [[Tzitzit]] off. We rule one should not make a new bracha on them upon [[waking up]], rather one should exempt them by making a bracha on the [[Tallit]] (or listening to someone else make the bracha on the [[Tallit]]). Additionally, one should not remove the [[Tzitzit]] with the intent of not putting them back on and then put them back on anyway, since according to some that may be causing an unnecessary bracha. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 8:42. </ref>

# If one removes the [[tallit]] with explicit intent not to put it back on for a while or not at all, a new Bracha is needed even if one put it back on right away. <Ref> Magen Avraham 8:18, Mishna Brurah 8:37, Sh”t Bear Moshe 6:4(10), Piskei Teshuvot 8:23(4), Ezor Yisrael 8:14 </ref>

## If one changes [[tallit]]’s a new Bracha is needed if one didn’t have that new one in mind when one made the Bracha in the morning. <Ref> S”A 8:12 writes that if one has many pairs of clothes with [[Tzitzit]] one must make a Bracha on each one unless one had intention to where all of them. Mishna Brurah 8:32 explains that if one didn’t have explicit intention, one must make another Bracha for each one. Almost all achronim write this distinction of switching two pairs of [[Tzitzit]] (where one surely makes a new Bracha) and removing one and replacing it after time (where there’s a dispute) including Sh”t Divrei Shmuel 1, Sh”t Teshurat Shai 133, Pri HaSadeh 4:64 (it’s regarding [[Tefillin]], but references [[Talit]]), Artzot HaChaim, Sh”t Yabia Omer Y”D 3:17(2), [[Tzitzit]] Halacha Pesuka (by Rav Tzvi Cohen 8:79), Piskei Teshuvot 8:23(8). See Sh”t Rivovot Efraim 1:23 and Sh”t Bear Moshe 6:4. </ref>
## If one changes one's [[Tallit]] for another a new bracha is needed on the other one, given one did not have that new one in mind when one made the bracha in the morning. <Ref> S”A 8:12 writes that if one wants to wear many pairs of clothing with [[Tzitzit]] one must make a bracha on each one unless one had intention to wear all of them, in which case one makes one bracha with all the garments in mind, exmpting them. Mishna Brurah 8:32 explains that if one did not have explicit intention, one must make another bracha for each one. Almost all achronim write this distinction of switching two pairs of [[Tzitzit]] (where one surely makes a new bracha) and removing one and replacing it after a while (where there is a dispute as to whether a new bracha is required) including Sh”t Divrei Shmuel 1, Sh”t Teshurat Shai 133, Pri HaSadeh 4:64 (writes regarding [[Tefillin]] but references [[Tallit]]), Artzot HaChaim, Sh”t Yabia Omer Y”D 3:17(2), [[Tzitzit]] Halacha Pesuka (by Rav Tzvi Cohen 8:79), Piskei Teshuvot 8:23(8).

## Therefore, when switching [[Tzitzit]]’s on Friday for [[Shabbat]], if when donning the weekday pair in the morning that it should cover the [[Shabbat]] pair, one doesn’t need a new Bracha, however if one didn’t have this intent, a new Bracha is needed. If one’s normal practice is to switch into a [[Shabbat]] pair, even stam intent is enough to cover that pair, and no new Bracha is needed. <ref> See above note. Leket Kemach Hachadash 73, and Torat Chaim Sofer 23 write explicitly regarding this case that a new Bracha should be made. However, [[Tzitzit]] Halacha Pesuka (by Rav Tzvi Cohen 8:79 in the footnote) writes that the Chazon Ish didn’t make a new bracha, and he quotes Rav Chaim Kanievsky who explained that it was for the reason that the Chazon Ish didn’t want to make a Bracha on a [[tallit]] katan. </ref>
