Are non-Jews allowed to wear a tallit while praying?
Answer 1Yes.In Judaism, the 613 commandments (mitzvot) are only considered requirements for Jews. Non-Jews are judged by a different standard of just 7 laws; this is known as the Noahide covenant, after the post-Flood ancestor of humanity. This is why, if you ask an Orthodox rabbi to help you convert to Judaism, he will dissuade you three times before finally allowing it: why would you want to take on heavy rsponsibility for yourself?Having said that, there's absolutely no reason why a non-Jew can't adopt some of the customs of Judaism, including wearing the tallit. Messianic Jews, for example, are essentially Christians who use Jewish forms of worship, and would not be considered Jews by most standards, but there is no problem with them doing this.Be thoughtful, however, as it may be misconstrued as mocking, depending on your attitude while wearing it and the tetchiness of the observer. To be certain, of course, you should always consult your local Orthodox rabbi.Answer 2While there is certainly is no law in Judaism forbidding the use of Jewish religious garments by non-Jews (just like there is no law in Catholicism against non-Christians using a rosary), non-Jews are typically asked not to wear the tallit in a synagogue as a sign of respect to the particular covenantal value of the garment.

What is the source for wearing a prayer shawl otherwise known as a tallit?
AnswerThe Bible twice commands us to put fringes (tzitzit) on each of the corners of a four-cornered garment.Numbers 15:38: "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, that they shall make themselves fringes on the corners of their garmentsthroughout their generations, and they shall put on the corner fringe a blue (tekhelet) thread."Deuteronomy 22:12: "You shall make yourself twisted threads, on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself."In order to fulfill this commandment - in an age when four-cornered garments are not usually worn - Jews wear the Tallit (Prayer Shawl) during daily morning prayers.The large tallit is alluded to in the Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 17b, and Daniel 7:9.Jews also wear a smaller tallit under their shirts to fulfill this commandment.
