The Torah describes the design of eight separate items that collectively comprise the
Priest's vestments, and refers to the complete suite simply as "big-DAY k'HOO-nah" ...
'clothing of the priesthood' ... or "big-DAY KO-desh" ... 'holy clothing'.
It's important to note that there is no connection whatsoever between these 'vestments'
described in the Torah and anything worn by anyone today during a synagogue service.
The Priests of Israel conducted the service in the Holy Temple for as long as it stood, and
will be restored to their service when the Temple is rebuilt. But in our time, there has
been no Holy Temple in Israel for roughly 1,940 years, and the priestly service of Israel
has been dormant since then. The "Rabbi" is not a Priest.
An official's vestment is called "die Amtskleidung" or "die Amtstracht".A priests vestment is called "der Priestergewand".
That depends on what symbols are on it. It varies.
A chasuble is a vestment worn by priests when they are saying mass. It is sleeveless, and is worn as an outer vestment. It is often quite decorated, and has the colors of the liturgical season. There is a link below to an article on the chasuble.
the word "vestment" means clothing. The ancient Jewish priests wore the following types of clothing: mitznefet (×ž×¦× ×¤×ª) = turban tzitz = (ציץ) head plate ketonet (×›×ª×•× ×ª) = tunic khoshen (חושן) = breastplate avnet = (××‘× ×˜) sash efod (אפוד) = apron me'il (מאיל) = robe mikhnasayim (×ž×›× ×¡×™×™×) = trousers
Normally, priests do not wear a mitre, only a bishop does. In the Eastern Catholic Churches there are mitred archpriests or chorbishops who are ordained priests that are entitled to wear a mitre.

If an altar server is wearing a black or red vestment that is full length that is called a cassock. A short white vestment worn over the black or red long vestment is called a surplice. A white vestment if full length is called an alb .
The white vestment worn by the priest is called an alb ( from the latin "albus", meaning "white"). It also worn by deacons, servers, and occasionally Eucharistic ministers. A white vestment placed over the alb at Mass is called a chasuble for priests and dalmatic for daecons. That can be red, green, violet, or white. White is worn during certain liturgical seasons and holy days, but the alb is always white, sometimes "off" white or ivory.
Methodists call their clergymen ministers, instead of priests.
Kahana is a European Jewish name, that is related to the Hebrew name Cohen, which is the term for ancient Jewish priests.
Catholic priests
The priest wears an alb ( usually white) that goes from neck to toe; over the alb he wears a vestment called a chasuble. If not wearing the chasuble he will wear stole over the alb. The chasuble and stole are the colors of the season.
