The tallit is a shawl traditionally made of wool (though other materials can be used, a mixture of wool and linen - prohibited in the Torah - is never used) with tasseled fringes known as tzitzit (traditionally, there are 613 tassels - a reminder of the 613 Mitzvot or commandments found in the Torah). It is worn by male Jews during the Shacharit morning prayers and Shabbat (Sabbath) and religious holiday prayers.
In modern times, some women have also adopted the wearing of the tallit, especially those who are members of Liberal or Progressive synagogues or feminist Jewish organisations.
The tallit, or prayer shawl, is traditionally worn only by men, but more and more women are taking up the obligation. It is worn during "formal" worship, in temple, and at home for particular occasions. It is also worn by some at any "holy place" - such as in Israel at the Western Wall. And for Jewish men Torah calls for specifically knotted and colored "fringes" on clothing at all times.
Just as during the rest of the year, the Tallit (Jewish Prayer Shawl) is worn on Rosh Hashanah during the Morning Service (Shacharit), and Mussaf (Additional Service for Shabbat,Festivals)
