Question:
Which bracha should I make upon putting on my tallit katan?
Answer:
One should make the bracha “lehitatef betzitzit” upon putting on one’s tallit katan. One should also make the same bracha upon putting on one’s tallit gadol.
The bracha “al mitzvat tzitzit” does not appear in the gemara, and therefore the only correct bracha to use whenever putting on either a tallit katan or tallit gadol is “lehitatef betzitzit”.
