# One should unfold the Tallit before making the bracha so that there will not be any interruption between the bracha and wrapping onself in the garment. <ref> Kaf Hachayim 206:4 </ref> If one made an interruption before placing the Tallit on one's head, one should recite a new bracha, but if the interruption occured only after placing it on one's head one does not recite a new bracha. <ref> Kaf Hachayim 8:39. He adds that if one hears [[kaddish]], [[kedusha]], or anything else that one would be required to answer to, one is permitted to do so. </ref> | # One should unfold the Tallit before making the bracha so that there will not be any interruption between the bracha and wrapping onself in the garment. <ref> Kaf Hachayim 206:4 </ref> If one made an interruption before placing the Tallit on one's head, one should recite a new bracha, but if the interruption occured only after placing it on one's head one does not recite a new bracha. <ref> Kaf Hachayim 8:39.

# One should not write a pasuk or the bracha on one's Tallit Gadol <ref> Shulchan Aruch YD 283:4 | # One should not write a pasuk or the bracha on one's Tallit Gadol <ref> Shulchan Aruch YD 283:4. [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=23523&st=&pgnum=32 Rambam Sh"t Pe'er Hador 7] writes that it is a sin to embroder a pasuk on a talit and if one does it should be torn and put in geniza. He gives three reasons: 1) It is forbidden to write a pasuk without writing the whole parsha. 2) Since it is permitted to bring a tallit into a bathroom or use it to cover something dirty you might use this tallit but since it has a pasuk on it it is forbidden. 3) It isn't the minhag. Furthermore, it is an inappropriate use of Ketav Ashurit.</ref>, but one may keep the Tallit if one got one that had the bracha or pasuk on it, but should be more careful with it. <ref> Kaf Hachayim 24:24 </ref> | ||
# The bracha and the wrapping of the Tallit Gadol should be done standing up. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 8:1 </ref> If one is weak or sick one can recite the bracha and wrap oneself in it while seated. <ref> Halacha Brurah 8:3 </ref> | # The bracha and the wrapping of the Tallit Gadol should be done standing up. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 8:1 </ref> If one is weak or sick one can recite the bracha and wrap oneself in it while seated. <ref> Halacha Brurah 8:3 </ref> | ||
# If one said the bracha "all mitzvat Tzitzit" on the Tallit Gadol instead of "lihitaatef biTzitzit" one has nevertheless fulfilled one's obligation. The same would be true if one recited "lihitaatef biTzitzit" on the Tallit Katan. <ref> Kaf Hachayim 8:21, although the Minhag Sepharad is not to recite a bracha on the Tallit Katan but rather to exempt it with the bracha on the Tallit Gadol, Ben Ish Chai Bereishit halacha 2. </ref> | # If one said the bracha "all mitzvat Tzitzit" on the Tallit Gadol instead of "lihitaatef biTzitzit" one has nevertheless fulfilled one's obligation.
