Historically, only men used to wear the tallit
during prayers at the synagogue, but with the
change in time and mindset, nowadays women are
also adorning the tallit prayer shawl during
special or daily occasions in the synagogue.
According to ShulchanAruch, only a woolen or
linen garment can be used for the fulfillment of
the mitzvah, and therefore, the tallit should
only be made out of pure ewes wool.

The Torah says that the purpose of this mitzvah
is to remind the person of the commandments of
God and to distance him/her from following the
wrong intentions of his/her eyes and heart. It
means to distance him/her from evil influences or
deeds.
