The Jewish prayer shawl
In Jewish tradition, a boy does not wear a tallit intil he becomes a bar mitzvah (turns 13) as wearing a tallit is an adult obligation.
In Orthodox Judaism, only adult married men wear a proper tallit. In more Liberal Forms of Judaism, men over the age of 13 (the Jewish age of maturity) wear a tallit. Mature women are also permitted to wear a tallit, but if they take on the obligation, they are required to wear it consistently.

Jewish men wear a tallit (or tallis) during prayer services.
This custom, alluded to in the Talmud (Rosh Hashanah 17b), is a fulfillment of the precept of the fringed garment mentioned in the end of Numbers ch.15. It symbolizes being enveloped in prayer and in God's presence.
A tallit is a special shawl used during certain prayer periods in Jewish religion and custom. Tallits can be purchased through Amazon or on special sites selling Jewish items such as AJudaica.

The tallit, a traditional Jewish prayer shawl, is typically worn during morning prayers, Shabbat, and festivals in the synagogue. It features fringes, known as tzitzit, on its corners, which serve as a reminder of the commandments. Wearing the tallit symbolizes spiritual elevation and connection to Jewish heritage, and it is often draped over the shoulders or wrapped around the body during prayer. The tallit is usually put on after the morning blessings, marking a transition into a sacred space.
