The Mechaber (Shulchan Aruch
O.Ch.8:11) writes:
"The Ikar Mitzvah
of Talis Katan is to wear it on
top of the clothing worn so
it will be seen at all times
and remember the
Mitzvos".
The Magen Avraham quotes from
the Kesavim
(Kisvei Arizal) not to do so
but to wear it underneath
the clothing.

Most Chasidim* wear the Talis
on their shirt (Shulchan Aruch)

Talis Katan under the shirt (Kabbalah)

"Most Chasidim* wear the Talis on their shirt"
ReplyDelete1) Many (non Habad) Chasidim do not seem to do so. Especially those out working 'in the world'.
2) If they wear it (tallis katan) over their shirt, however, they have another outer beged on as well (vest, jacket, bekeshe, etc.) over it, then it is not on top of their clothing, not the outermost beged.
