How you put on a Talit is done in different ways depending on the custom of your family. When I put on my Talit I put it on my shoulder unwrapped say the blessing, kiss the tzis, then unwrap it, put it over my head, cross my hands with a ends over my head, uncross my hands and lay it on my shoulders. I hope I explained this so it makes sense.
Doesn't the phrase "Beth El Emeth" or Beit El Emet literally mean "House of God's Truth"? Because that is a wonderful name for a Congregation of the LORD. This is very uplifting, I enjoyed my morning as a result.
Thanks. Yes, it was a break away in 1862 from another congregation and it didn't like the direction it was taking so they called themselves the house of the TRUE G-d as opposed to the other cong! Not so PC, but yes it is a great name! Thanks!
Hi, I asked a rabbi friend of mine if it's ok or if one should wear a tallit, he said you can just in your privet prayer time, I do wear a tallit during church services but not at a synagogue because it would be confusing and some people would get offended.
it's probably one of those mornings that are meant to Mark a Jew as a Jew and so not for gentiles but there is a theory that a gentile can pretty much do any mitzvah and get some credit. At our shul and most shuls gentiles don't wear talit.
