A tallith, also spelled tallit, is a Jewish prayer shawl typically made of wool or silk with fringed ends, worn by observant Jewish men during morning prayers, the Sabbath, and holidays. It usually features black or blue stripes running across a white background and can be rectangular or square in shape. The tallith is draped over the shoulders and often held in place with a belt or prayer book. The fringes, known as tzitzit, are knotted in a specific pattern and serve as a reminder of the commandments in the Torah. The tallith is an important symbol of Jewish tradition and religious practice.
