They wear tallit, except at night. Tallit is a Jewish prayer shawl that has fringes (called tzitzit) on its four corners. The large tallit are worn during morning services, over one's clothing, and the small tallit are worn under Orthodox men's clothes during the day. Also, they wear a yarmulke (kippah in English), which is a skull cap. All men have to wear this in temple, unlike tallit which is strongly recommended but not required. Some men wear a kippah during the day as well, Orthodox men's kippahs usually covered by a hat.Some men wear also wear tefillin, which are two separate leather straps each attached to a box with a shin on it (Hebrew letter). One is wrapped around your arm, the other around your head. Although tefillin are allowed to be worn all day, it has become a custom only to do this in the mourning service. They can not be worn on any holiday, including Shabbat.
