Reply To: Hats?

Ben Torah- The reason behind not giving tefilin for children to wear is chinuch in itself! Halacha requires a guf naki, something which cannot be reasonably assured for a young child. However the proper decorum required by halacha for davening is indifferent to age, so again why do most people wait till bar mitzvah age?

yeshivaguy1- I assume that the reason is because a talis gadol is only a minhag, seeing that we wear a talis katon. Were we to not wear either till then I would see that as a valid point.

Minhag Yisroel Torah!
