When is tallit worn on Rosh Hashanah?

The tallit is a shawl traditionally made of wool (though other materials can be used, a mixture of wool and linen - prohibited in the Torah - is never used) with tasseled fringes known as tzitzit (traditionally, there are 613 tassels - a reminder of the 613 Mitzvot or commandments found in the Torah). It is worn by male Jews during the Shacharit morning prayers and Shabbat (Sabbath) and religious holiday prayers.

In modern times, some women have also adopted the wearing of the tallit, especially those who are members of Liberal or Progressive synagogues or feminist Jewish organisations.
