Wednesday Iyar 7, 5703 22nd day of the Omer
Chumash: Emor, Revi'i with Rashi.
Tehillim: 39-43.
Tanya: All these (p. 243)...the blessed En Sof. (p. 245).
When one enwraps himself with the Tallit Gadol (large Tallit) it is unnecessary to cover his head and face down to his mouth; this is indicated in the laws of Tzitzit in the Siddur (p. 11). It is our custom, however, to cover the eyes [1] with the upper part of the Tallit.
During the days of Sefira it is customary to study tractate Sota, one page each day [2] - in addition to one's regular study sessions.
Notes:
I.e. to cover the head and face, down to past the eyes.
The number of pages in Sota, 49, coincides with the 49 days of the Omer. One should begin this study on the First day of Chol Hamo'ed. Viz. Sicha, Shavuot 5710, section 15.
