A tallit is a traditional Jewish prayer shawl worn during morning prayers and special religious occasions. It is typically made of wool or cotton and features a rectangular shape with fringes, known as tzitzit, at each corner. The tallit serves as a reminder of the commandments in the Torah and is often adorned with blue and white stripes. The tallit is usually worn over the shoulders and can be draped over the head during prayer for a sense of spiritual focus. It is an important symbol of Jewish identity and faith, connecting the wearer to their heritage and community.
