# The Rema disagrees and holds that if you remove a talit with intention to put it back on within “a short period of time” one doesn’t make a new Bracha upon putting on the talit a second time within that short period of time. <Ref> Rama 8:14 writes that if one removes the Talit with intent to put it back on one doesn’t make a Bracha. This is explained by the achronim based on the language of the Tur who writes that if one intends to put it back on immediately (מיד) then there’s no need for a new Bracha.

# If one removed one’s talit to give to someone getting an aliyah (or duchaning), no new Bracha is needed when getting back the talit. <Ref> Bet Baruch 12:39, Tzitizit Halacha Pesuka (by Rav Tzvi Kohen) 8:77, Halichot Shlomo (3:7 in the notes), Rav Hershel Schachter (Hilchot [[Tzitzit]] min 43).

## For example, a person who gave his talit to someone for an aliyah and instead it gets used for all the olim and it only gets returned after a half hour, a new Bracha is needed when returned. <Ref> Rabbi Hershel Schachter (Hilchot [[Tzitzit]] min 43) in as an example </ref> | ## For example, a person who gave his talit to someone for an aliyah and instead it gets used for all the olim and it only gets returned after a half hour, a new Bracha is needed when returned. <Ref> Rabbi Hershel Schachter (Hilchot [[Tzitzit]] min 43) in as an example </ref> | ||
## Similarly, if someone took the talit from a person shoulders without asking, the owner doesn’t need to make a new Bracha when he gets it back unless the owner fears not getting the Talit back. <ref> Mishneh Halachot 15:7 who says that if a person took your talit for an aliyah you don’t need a new Bracha, unless you thought you wouldn’t get your talit back. </ref> | ## Similarly, if someone took the talit from a person shoulders without asking, the owner doesn’t need to make a new Bracha when he gets it back unless the owner fears not getting the [[Talit]] back. <ref> Mishneh Halachot 15:7 who says that if a person took your talit for an aliyah you don’t need a new Bracha, unless you thought you wouldn’t get your talit back. </ref> | ||
# If one gave a talit to someone in order to fulfill the mitzvah and in order that the borrower can make a Bracha on it, the talit was given as a gift on condition (Mattana Al Menat Lehachzir), there’s a dispute whether a person should make a new Bracha when the talit is returned. <Ref> Sh”t bear Moshe 6:5 and Bet Baruch 12:39 hold that you need a new Bracha, while Sh”t hillel Omer 4 writes that no new Bracha is needed. </ref> | # If one gave a talit to someone in order to fulfill the mitzvah and in order that the borrower can make a Bracha on it, the talit was given as a gift on condition (Mattana Al Menat Lehachzir), there’s a dispute whether a person should make a new Bracha when the talit is returned. <Ref> Sh”t bear Moshe 6:5 and Bet Baruch 12:39 hold that you need a new Bracha, while Sh”t hillel Omer 4 writes that no new Bracha is needed. </ref> | ||

# One doesn’t need to make a new Bracha after bathing. However, it’s preferable to have in mind while making the Bracha in the morning only to cover the [[Tzitzit]] until that point in time and then after bathing a new Bracha would be required. <Ref> Buir Halacha D”H 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, Biur Halacha writes that the minhag is not to make a new bracha, and concludes that it’s better to have in mind not to cover the wearing of [[Tzitzit]] after bathing and then one can make the Bracha afterwards.

# If one removes the talit 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> Magan 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 removes the talit 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> Magan 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 talit’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 Yabea 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 talit katan. </ref> | ## 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.
