Wool Prayer Shawl Tallit from Israel.
Color: White with silver stripes.
The tallit (also pronounced tallis) is a prayer shawl, the most authentic Jewish garment. It is a rectangular-shaped piece of linen or wool with special fringes called Tzitzit on each of the four corners.
“You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself.” (Deuteronomy 22:12)
The purpose of the garment is to hold the Tzitzit. Most tallitot (alternative plural: talleisim) have a neckband, called an Atarah, which most often has the blessing one recites when donning the tallit, embroidered across it.
The blessing in Hebrew recited when putting on a tallis prayer shawl Hebrew.
ברוך אתה ה’ אלוהינו מלך העולם אשר קידשנו במיצוותיו וציוונו על מצוות ציצית
