The shawl, called a tallit (or taleth/talet) is worn in the synagogue during the morning prayers. Sephardic Jews (those from Spain and Portugal) also wear it during the afternoon and evening prayers.

Most Orthodox Jewish men (and some non-Orthodox women, nowadays) use one, but as it is not expressly commanded in The Bible (which says only that a fringed outer garment is used to cover the wearer) many Reform, Liberal and Progressive Jews do not do so.
