If one wears multiple four-cornered garments, must a separate blessing be recited on each?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that if worn consecutively without interruption and with initial intention, one blessing covers all. If one interrupts, a new blessing is needed for each. The Rema adds that removing the first garment before putting on the second requires a new blessing. The Magen Avraham and Beur HaGra discuss various exceptions.
