+# Lechatchilla we are machmir and follow Rabbeinu Tam <ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 14a</ref> for boys beneath the age of 13 and women not to tie Tzitzit for a man whose obligation it is to wear them. Though in principle women and minors are kosher for making kosher Tzitzit, Rabbeinu Tam holds that only the gavra who is obligated in the mitzvah should create the object of the mitzvah. Boys beneath the age of 13 may tie Tzitzit for another boy under the age of 13, since their mitzvah is merely one of [[chinuch]]. <ref>Rabbi Hershel Schachter in Bikvei HaTzoan (p. 10)</ref>
-# One may tie the Tzitzit strings onto the Tzitzit garment at night, even though we do not recite the bracha before putting it on during the night. <ref> Sh"t Yabia Omer OC 8:3 </ref>
+# One may tie the Tzitzit strings onto the Tzitzit garment at night, even though one will not recite the bracha until putting them on the next morning. <ref> Sh"t Yabia Omer OC 8:3 </ref>
