The tallit, (also pronounced tallis depending on dialect) or Jewish prayer shawl is a religious item worn during prayer by Jewish men in orthodox and traditional circles, and also by women in more liberal Jewish movements. The tallit is such a cool, exotic-looking visual shorthand for "Jews Doing Jewish Stuff" that it tends to get used indiscriminately in TV, film, comic books and other visual media, almost always incorrectly. Many Orthodox Jewish men do wear an undershirt-like garment called the tallit katan (or "small tallit") at all times to fulfill the Biblical commandment to wear a "fringed garment." But a tallit katan is not a full-fledged tallit, and is not visible except for small fringes which dangle from the beltline. In most mainstream Jewish denominations and sects, the full tallit is only worn during weekday morning prayers, during morning Sabbath and festival services in synagogue, and on a few other very specific occasions. Even in synagogues, the tallit is only rarely worn during afternoon or evening services (and even then, depending on the denomination, only by the rabbi/cantor performing services), and it's virtually never worn for most other religious observances. In some ultra-Orthodox communities, traditionally a man does not even own a tallit before he is married. (There are some sects that encourage their members to wear the full tallit all day long, but this is a very uncommon practice.) Contrary to many media portrayals — and with the marginal sects noted above possibly excepted — you'd never see a full tallit worn: At a funeral. At a wedding, except by the groom or, in some communities, wrapped around the couple at one point in the ceremony. German Jews historically also had the officiating rabbi wear one. While lighting Chanukah candles. During a Passover Seder. While celebrating Israeli Independence Day or any other secular/culturally Jewish event. By a rabbi, just because he's a rabbi. By a cantor, just because he's a cantor, but not leading services (in many Ashkenazi communities). By an Orthodox Jew, just because he's an Orthodox Jew (marginal sects, again, excepted). A subtrope of Culture Equals Costume. |

All of the male characters in Fiddler on the Roof wear tallis, or prayer shawls as they call them, because of their tradition. What they should wear, except when praying at certain times or, as noted, possibly by the groom at the wedding is tallit katan, the undershirt-like garment with only the fringes visible. |

A tallit is worn by a plane from the fictional "Air Israel" in Airplane!. This is of due to a policy of strict enforcement of Rule of Funny (said plane also wears a beard and payess). | |

The Pastor's Vestments in Fallout 4 consist of an all-black ensemble with a clerical collar and topped off with a sash reminiscent of a Tallit draped across the shoulders. Somewhat justified in that some churches in the Commonwealth open their doors to all faiths, which would ostensibly include both Judaism and Christianity. | |
