The tallit, a traditional Jewish prayer shawl, is typically worn during morning prayers, Shabbat, and festivals in the synagogue. It features fringes, known as tzitzit, on its corners, which serve as a reminder of the commandments. Wearing the tallit symbolizes spiritual elevation and connection to Jewish heritage, and it is often draped over the shoulders or wrapped around the body during prayer. The tallit is usually put on after the morning blessings, marking a transition into a sacred space.
