Question
Hello!!
I am an Ashkenazi young man who wraps himself with a tallit every morning during Shacharit, and the tallit, hat, and tefillin are very bothersome. The question is whether I am allowed to wear only the tallit and during the Amidah place the tallit on my head, as it helps me concentrate in prayer (am I allowed to do like the Sephardim)?
Thank you in advance
Answer
Hello
The custom among Ashkenazim is that before marriage, one does not place the tallit on the head during prayer.
