[Avodah] bracha on tallit

[Eli Turkel]

<<.. and because one had intent to put the tallis back on. Which leads to
the counterintuitive (in my intuition's opinion) result that if you take
your tallis off on purpose to put on later, you don't need a berakhah; but
if it slips altogether off unintentionally, you do need one when you put
it back on.>>


there was some confusion about the halacha so a quick summary:
Tur - If one purposely takes off one tallit with the intention of putting it
back on shortly - he has a safek whether one should say a second bracha
He prefers the opinion not to say a second bracha

Bet Yosef - Tallit is like tefillin and so one does say a second bracha

Agur - not to say a second bracha if one is wearing a tallit katan

SA - like Bet Yosef (no surprise)
Rama - like the Tur no bracha if he intended to rewear the tallit
second opinion - like the Agur which is the minhag

MB - like the Tur not to say the bracha if he intended to return the tallit
but if he had no intention then he paskens like the Agur

ROY - not to say a new bracha (against SA!) because of safek brachot lehakel

If the tallit fell off SA (and MB) pasken that if a little is still on then
not to
make a new bracha but if it all falls off then to make a new bracha
ROY - again no bracha because of safek brachot lehakel
RSZA paskens that in modern days if the tallit falls off unintentionally
that
one does not make a bracha. His reasoning is that since we wear a tallit
gadol
for tefilla it is an automatic intention that it stay on and so there is no
hesech
hadat if it falls off
