The origin of the Tallit is the Biblical command (Numbers 15:38-39) instructing the Jewish people to make fringes on the corners of their garments. In the times of the Talmud, people wore a four-cornered garment to which the Tzitzit were attached. As the clothing style changed, the Sages stipulated the wearing of a special 4 cornered cloak-like garment, known as the tallit that wraps around the body. From Bar Mitzvah or marriage, depending on the custom, this is worn during morning prayers.
