(לז) וב' לאחריהם - מזה הלשון נמשך שגגה לאיזה אנשים שמקפלין חלק אחד מהטלית מאוד עד שנעשה דק ואין מכסה כלל רק הצואר וכונתם שיהיה ב' ציצית לאחריהם ממש על כתפיהם ואין זה מן המובחר דא"כ אין כאן כיסוי גוף אלא כיסוי ראש ויותר טוב כמנהג התוגרמים שהיד מפסקת בחצי הטלית באופן שמשני הצדדין יהיה אחת מהציצית לפניו וחלק לאחריו דצדדין דלפניו ולאחריו נמי מיקרי לפניו ולאחריו היד: בהפסק די ולכן
English Translation
Two behind them - From this wording [of the Rem"a] stems an error [made] by some people who fold up a portion of their טלית so much until it's thin (ie. they scrunch/fold up the back till it's bunched up a lot and is thin) and does not cover [the body] at all except for the neck. And their intention is that the two ציצית be behind them... literally on their shoulders (and therefore directly opposite the ציצית in the front which are high up and close to the shoulders). And this is not ideal, for if so, there is no covering for the body, rather only a covering for the head. And a better way is like the practice of the Tugarmim (ie. people from Turkey?) where the [טלית is resting on the shoulders with 2 ציצית in front and 2 in back and the] hand/arm is separating in between half of the טלית in such a way that from both sides (ie. the person's right and left side) one of the ציצית is in front and a portion is behind. Because [regarding] the sides, what's in front and in back are also called his front and his back. And therefore it's sufficient that the separation is coming about through his arm/hand.
