May one say Daven Shacharis without a Tallis Gadol if none is available?
Question:
May one say Daven without a Tallis Gadol? I had my tefillin checked and by the time I picked them up the next day, I had no time to go to a shul to Daven before Sof Zeman. Problem was I did not have my Tallis Gadol with me, and was faced with the question of whether I may Daven without a Tallis Gadol.
Answer:
You may Daven without a Tallis Gadol for the sake of Davening within Zeman Tefila.
Explanation:
The Poskim write that if one does not have Tefillin available and suspects that the time of Tefila will pass by the time he receives the Tefillin, then he is to Daven without Tefillin. The same applies regarding a Tallis, and certainly applies to a Tallis Gadol, if one is already wearing a tallis Katan, in which case there is no Eidus Sheker applicable at all.
