Which item is a prayer shawl worn by Orthodox Jewish men during the prayer service?

• A. Tachrichim
• B. Tallith
• C. Shabbat
• D. Aron

Answer: (B)

A prayer shawl worn during the service is the tallith. It’s a rectangular garment draped over the shoulders and features fringes, called tzitzit, on its four corners. This garment is worn by Orthodox Jewish men during prayer to fulfill the biblical commandment to attach tzitzit to clothing and to serve as a physical reminder of God’s commandments during worship. Tachrichim are burial shrouds used for the deceased, not worn in prayer. Shabbat refers to the Sabbath, a day of rest, not a garment. Aron is the Ark in the synagogue where Torah scrolls are kept, not an item worn. The tallith is the distinct attire associated with prayer, making it the correct choice.
