Jewish Culture : How to Wear a Tallit

[1945918]

Muito bonito a colocação do Tallit!

[brandenstone]

I am new to the Tallit. You did it differently from different from Rabbi Rivkin on youtube. What is the difference?

[Bahtlahn]

@brandenstone

Rabbi Rivkin is demonstrating the custom according to Chabad. He also says some verses that Rabbi Salfer left out. Those verses are also likely recited by R' Salfer, but he left them out, presumably for simplicity's sake.

can women wear this and do they say the same blessing?

[sriavatar]

@OneFabFisher Women are not generally considered to be "obligated" to do so but they are certainly permitted in all traditions of Judaism. As a general rule, Women are exempt from commandments that are specific to time specifications like saying the Shma. Nothing restricts them from doing so, they are just not obligated. In some Jewish communities, women are held to be obligated as a matter of egalitarian ethos. I personally believe that women are obligated to all of the same commandments as men

[bennatan]

Is there a halachah on covering the face completely or leaving a bit open like you do? Or is it just a matter of custom?

[Jewdicris]

@bennatan You are thinking about the Sepharadi/Mizrachi tradition. You should not cover the face because it resembles that of a dead person.

I wrap myself in the tallit according the Chabad's tradition.
