After saying the b’rakhah we enwrap ourselves with it. Some have the custom of first wrapping the tallit around their head and body, symbolically surrounding themselves with the Presence of God, and then draping it around their shoulders. Passage בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה, יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי גָּדַלְתָּ מְאֹד, הוֹד וְהָדָר לָבָשְׁתָּ. עֹטֶה אוֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָה, נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם כַּיְרִיעָה. ba|ra|CHI naf|SHI et-a|do|NAI, a|do|NAI e|lo|HAI ga|DAL|ta me-OD, hod ve|ha|DAR la|VASH|ta. o|TEH or ka|sal|MAH, no|TEH sha|MA|yim kay|ri-AH. ba|ra|KHI naf|SHI ʾeth-a|do|NAI, a|do|NAI ʾe|lo|HAI ga|DHAL|ta me|ʾODH, hodh ve|ha|DHAR la|VASH|ta. ʿo|ṭEH ʾor kaś|śal|MAH, no|ṭEH sha|MA|yim kay|ri|ʿAH. ba|ra|KHI naf|SHI et-a|do|NAI, a|do|NAI e|lo|HAI ga|DAL|ta me|OD, hod ve|ha|DAR la|VASH|ta. ʿo|TEH or kas|sal|MAH, no|TEH sha|MA|yim kay|ri|ʿAH. bo|ra|CHI naf|SHI es-a|do|NOY, a|do|NOY e|loy|HAI go|DAL|to m'OYD, hoyd v'ho|DOR lo|VOSH|to. oy|TEH oyr ka|sal|MOH, noy|TEH sho|MA|yim kay|ri-OH.

Passage בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו, וְצִוָּנוּ לְהִתְעַטֵּף בַּצִּיצִית. ba|RUCH a|TAH a|do|NAI e|lo|HEI|nu ME|lech ha-o|LAM, a|SHER kid|SHA|nu b'mitz|vo|TAV, ve|tzi|va|NU le|hit|a|TEF ba|tzi|TZIT. ba|RUKH ʾat|TAH a|do|NAI ʾe|lo|HE|nu ME|lekh ha|ʿo|LAM, ʾa|SHER qid|de|SHA|nu be|mitz|vo|THAV, ve|tziv|va|NU le|hith|ʿaṭ|ṭEF bat|tzi|TZITH. ba|RUKH at|TAH a|do|NAI e|lo|HE|nu ME|lekh ha|ʿo|LAM, a|SHER qid|de|SHA|nu be|mitz|vo|TAV, ve|tziv|va|NU le|hit|ʿat|TEF bat|tzi|TZIT. bo|RUCH a|TOH a|do|NOY e|loy|HEI|nu ME|lech ho-oy|LOM, a|SHER kid'|SHO|nu b'mitz|voy|SOV, v'tzi|vo|NU l'his|a|TEIF ba|tzi|TZIS.

Barukh atah Adonai, our God, sovereign of time and space, who has provided us with a path to holiness through the observance of mitzvot and has instructed us to enwrap ourselves with tzitzit. Passage כְּשֵׁם שֶׁגּוּפִי מִתְעַטֵּף בַּטַּלִּית, כֵּן תִּתְעַטֵּף נִשְׁמָתִי בְּאוֹר שְׁכִינָתֶךָ. k'SHEM she|gu|FI mit|a|TEF ba|ta|LIT, ken tit|a|TEF nish|ma|TI be-OR sh'chi|na|TE|cha. ke|SHEM sheg|gu|FI mith|ʿaṭ|ṭEF baṭ|ṭal|LITH, ken tith|ʿaṭ|ṭEF nish|ma|THI be|ʾOR she|khi|na|THE|kha. ke|SHEM sheg|gu|FI mit|ʿat|TEF bat|tal|LIT, ken tit|ʿat|TEF nish|ma|TI be|OR she|khi|na|TE|kha. k'SHEIM she|gu|FI mis|a|TEIF ba|ta|LIS, kein tis|a|TEIF nish|mo|SI b'OYR sh'chi|no|SE|cho.

They are sated with the abundance in Your house; You give them drink from Your delightful streams. You are the source of life; in Your light do we see light. Pour out Your love to those who would know You, and Your righteousness to those whose hearts are true. heading OUR RELATION TO OTHERS Passage הֲרֵינִי מְקַבֵּל\מְקַבֶּלֶת עָלַי מִצְוַת הַבּוֹרֵא: וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ. ha|rei|NI me|ka|BEL or me|ka|be|LET a|LAI mitz|VAT ha|bo|REI: ve-a|HAV|ta le|re-a|CHA ka|mo|CHA. ha|re|NI me|qab|BEL or me|qab|be|LETH ʿa|LAI mitz|VATH hab|bo|REʾ: ve|ʾa|HAV|ta le|re|ʿa|KHA ka|mo|KHA. ha|re|NI me|qab|BEL or me|qab|be|LET ʿa|LAI mitz|VAT hab|bo|RE: ve|a|HAV|ta le|re|ʿa|KHA ka|mo|KHA. ha|rei|NI m'ka|BEIL or m'ka|be|LES o|LAI mitz|VAS ha|boy|REI: v'o|HAV|to l'rei-a|CHO ko|moy|CHO. Hareini m’kabel/m’kabelet alai mitzvat ha-borei: V’ahavta l’rei-akha kamokha. I hereby accept the obligation of fulfilling the Creator’s mitzvah as written in the Torah: Love your neighbor as yourself.
Commentary PUTTING ON THE TALLIT. As explained in Numbers 15:39–40, the tzitzit, the fringes of the tallit, serve to remind us of the Torah’s mitzvot and of the ideal of holiness to which we are summoned.
Commentary LET ME PRAISE בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי. Psalm 104:1–2.
Commentary HOW PRECIOUS מַה יָּקָר. Psalm 36:8–11. These verses speak of God’s protection. With their recitation, being enwrapped in the tallit becomes an embodiment of being enfolded in the wings of the Shekhinah. In Hebrew, the word for wing, kanaf, is the same as the word for corner (on which the tzitzit are tied). Thus, the corners of the tallit become symbolic of the wings of the Shekhinah, God’s Presence.
Commentary ABUNDANCE מִדֶּשֶׁן. This Hebrew word is primarily used in the Torah to describe the sacrificial elements burnt on the altar. Thus, to say that we are sated by God’s deshen, abundance, suggests that God gives us back the gifts we have offered—though in the hands of God they have been transformed: we offered a physical offering, which, rising to heaven, has been returned to us as spiritual nourishment.
Commentary LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ. Leviticus 19:18. The mystic Isaac Luria (1534–1572, Safed) began each day with this reminder of the command to love, believing that this commitment to try to love others—even if we are as yet unable to fulfill it completely—is a necessary condition of our experiencing divine love.
MarginNote Teach Me, God, To Bless and To Pray לַמְּדֵנִי אֱלֹהַי, בָּרֵךְ וְהִתְפַּלֵּל עַל סוֹד עָלֶה קָמֵל, עַל נֹגַהּ פְּרִי בָּשֵׁל, עַל הַחֵרוּת הַזֹּאת: לִרְאוֹת, לָחוּשׁ, לִנְשֹׁם, לָדַעַת, לְיַחֵל, לְהִכָּשֵׁל. לַמֵּד אֶת־שִׂפְתוֹתַי בְּרָכָה וְשִׁיר הַלֵּל בְּהִתְחַדֵּשׁ זְמַנְּךָ עִם בֹּקֶר וְעִם לֵיל, לְבַל יִהְיֶה יוֹמִי הַיּוֹם כִּתְמוֹל שִׁלְשׁוֹם, לְבַל יִהְיֶה עָלַי יוֹמִי הֶרְגֵּל. Teach me, God, to bless and to pray for the secret within the enfolded leaf, the glow of a ripening fruit, and this freedom: to see, to sense, to breathe, to know, to celebrate, to fail. Teach my lips how to bless and sing praises as Your time is renewed with the arrival of morning and evening, that my day today be not like my yesterdays, that my day not simply be habit. —LEA GOLDBERG
MarginNote Our Relation to Others Rabbi Ḥanina ben Dosa would say: One with whom people are pleased, the divine spirit is pleased; and one with whom people are displeased, the divine spirit is displeased. —PIRKEI AVOT
