Tallith is a Hebrew word used to refer to a fringed garment worn by Jewish men during prayer. It is also commonly known as a prayer shawl. While tallith is the most common term used to describe this ritual garment, there are several other synonyms that can also be used. These include tzitzit, which refers to the fringes on the tallith, and arba kanfot, which is the Hebrew term for "four corners," describing the shape of the garment. In English, it can also be called a prayer scarf or prayer mantle. Regardless of the name, the tallith remains an important part of Jewish prayer and tradition.
