Two tallitot (prayer shawls)
The tallit (plural: tallitot) is the shawl or coat that is worn when saying prayers both in the synagogue and in private settings, as well es when reciting from the Torah to the congregation. In orthodox Judaism, 13-year-old boys wear the tallit for the first time at their bar mitzvah. In liberal Judaism, girls can also wear the tallit at their bat mitzvah. Although animal and plant textiles should not be combined in the cloth, a blend with artificial fibre is acceptable. Tallitot can come in a wide variety of patterns and designs.
