In every religion, you will notice certain symbols, signs or types of clothing that are exclusively attached to their practices and customs. Jewish customs are no different. One of these customs includes wearing a tallit shawl during the different praying times in the synagogue, and also during special ceremonies.

Tallit, also known as the prayer shawl, is an inseparable and integral part of the Jewish religion. Traditionally, it was only worn by men during prayers, but today the push of equality between the genders has made it a must for a Jewish tallit for women too.

Available in a myriad of fabrics, like the Classic Wool Tallit, Silk tallit or Viscose fabric, and colors like black, blue, white and more, designer tallit shawl today are sure to suit every personal choice and individualistic style.

Jewish Tallit Shawl: The Birth

Known as a pallium, it developed into a distinctively Jewish form of apparel when rabbinically inclined Jews of the time affixed tassels to it. Later still, during the medieval period, it evolved even further into a religious garment to be worn only during prayer. This religious garment from the Jewish tradition is designed to wrap, enfold, comfort, cover, give solace, mother, hug, shelter and beautify the wearer.

Tallit and Fashion

Now, in the latest act of Jewish cultural appropriation by the fashion world, a man was glimpsed attending New York Fashion Week wearing an actual, honest-to-god tallit over his overcoat.

Also, fashion icons—from Vogue magazine to A$AP Rocky—are embracing Jewish-related sartorial choices. H&M, the Swedish clothing chain seems to have taken its latest look from straight out of the synagogue. The fashion retailer offers new scarf for women with a striking resemblance to a Jewish prayer shawl.
