==Borrowed Tallit==
==Borrowed Tallit==
# A Tallit which one borrows directly from its owner in order to fulfill the mitzvah of wearing a Tallit, one can recite the beracha, because we assume that the owner gives it as a present on condition that it is returned. However, it's better to avoid this situation. Additionally, if the Tallit is donated to the shul, one may borrow it and make a bracha on it.<ref> Ben Ish Chai Lech Lecha Halacha 5 </ref>

==If one wears multiple pairs of tzitzit==
# If one wears multiple pairs of tzitzit, one could make one beracha on both of them by having in mind to include both pairs in that single beracha. One should be sure to not make a hefsek between putting on the first and second pair of tzitzit. <ref> S"A, Orach Chaim, 8:12 </ref>
==Checking the Tzitzit==
==Checking the Tzitzit==
# One should check one's tzitzit (the strings from the edge until the knots and the strings after the knots) daily before making a bracha on them. <ref> Rambam Hilchot Tzitzit 1:8. S"A 8:9 writes clearly that one must check one's tzitzit before making the bracha so that one doesn't make a bracha levatala in case the tzitzit are ripped. Mishna Brurah 8:21 adds that there's also a need to check the strings close to the [[talit]] before the knots. Yalkut Yosef (Hilchot Tzitzit pg 80) writes that the minhag is to be lenient as this halacha is only a midat chasidut not to make a bracha levatala. </ref>
