בִּלְבִישַׁת טַלִּית קָטָן בַּבּוֹקֶר
When putting on a tallis katan in the morning —
בְּיָדַיִם נְקִיּוֹת וּבְמָקוֹם שֶׁמּוּתָּר לְבָרֵךְ
if one’s hands are pure and he is in a place where it is permitted to recite a blessing —
"מְבָרְכִים "עַל מִצְוַת צִיצִית
he should conclude the blessing with the words, …al mitzvas tzitzis,
כֵּיוָן שֶׁאֵין בְּטַלִּית קָטָן שֶׁלָּנוּ שִׁעוּר עִטּוּף
since a tallis katan of the kind we wear is not large enough to enable one to enwrap himself in it.
אִם אָסוּר לְבָרֵךְ
If [while dressing in the morning one is in a place where] it is forbidden to recite a blessing,
אֲזַי קוֹדֶם הַתְּפִלָּה
then before [one starts] the Morning Service
אִם אֵינוֹ לוֹבֵשׁ טַלִּית גָּדוֹל
if one does not wear a tallis gadol [while praying],
יְמַשְׁמֵשׁ בְּד' צִיצִיּוֹתָיו וִיבָרֵךְ אָז
he should handle the four tzitziyos and recite the blessing […al mitzvas tzitzis] at that time.
