This question divides into several questions. The first one is the question of tradition about prayer shawls. According to the Bible, in Numbers 15:38 and Deuteronomy 22:12, the people of Israel are to have tassels attached to the corners of their garments. Any piece of material worn as a garment is to have tassels on the corners as a reminder to give thanks to God for HIS blessings. Thus it is not a tradition, it is a commandment. Since Jesus is/was/shall be a Jew, He also wore the tassels. So yes, He wore a prayer shawl. In fact, in the story of the woman with the issue of blood, the "hem of his garment" refers to this article of clothing. She just wanted to touch the tassels of His prayer shawl and she would be made clean. This can be seen as an act of great faith.
