#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 embroider 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> | |||
