A Gartel (in Hebrew its called a ezor) is a belt worn by Jews during prayer. The reasoning for this practice can be found in the Shulchan Aruch which states that "One must wear a gartel while praying, even if he has a belt so that his heart doesn't see his private parts; this is in order [to fulfill the dictum], 'Prepare [yourself to meet your G-d, O Israel]'

What makes an etrog kosher?

An etrog (Hebrew: אֶתְרוֹג‎, a type of citrus fruit, usually pronounced "esrog") needs to be larger than a hen's egg, preferably large enough to fit comfortably into one hand. Larger etrogim (plural), which can be held with two hands, are kosher but are considered less desirable. Perfectly round etrogim are not kosher, but there are different opinions on the ideal shape - some prefer a straight-edged etrog, others prefer them with a "gartel" - shaped as though they have a belt (the "gartel" worn by Chassidic and Charedic Jews) around the middle. Slightly bent etrogim can be kosher but are not considered as desirable.
