It might be purchased to mark a special occasion, such as a wedding or a <a href="/wiki/Bar_mitzvah" class="mw-redirect" title="Bar mitzvah">bar mitzvah</a>. Many parents purchase a tallit gadol for their sons at the age of 13, together with <a href="/wiki/Tefillin" title="Tefillin">tefillin</a>, though among the orthodox a male child will have been wearing a tallit katan from pre-school age. In the Reform, Reconstructionist, Renewal, and Conservative movements many women nowadays also wear a tallit gadol. While many worshipers bring their own tallit gadol to synagogue, there is usually a rack of them for the use of visitors and guests. </p><p>At Jewish wedding ceremonies, a tallit gadol is often used as a <i><a href="/wiki/Chuppah" title="Chuppah">chuppah</a></i> or wedding canopy. Similarly, a tallit gadol is traditionally spread out as a canopy over the children during the <a href="/wiki/Torah" title="Torah">Torah</a>-reading ceremony during the holiday of <a href="/wiki/Simchat_Torah#Torah_reading_and_customs" title="Simchat Torah">Simchat Torah</a>, or in any procession with Torah scrolls, such as when parading a newly completed scroll through the streets. </p><p>The tallit gadol is traditionally draped over the shoulders, but during prayer, some cover their head with it, notably during specific parts of the service such as the <a href="/wiki/Amidah" title="Amidah">Amidah</a> and when called to the Torah for an <a href="/wiki/Aliyah_(Torah)" title="Aliyah (Torah)">aliyah</a>. </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/Talmud" title="Talmud">Talmudic</a> and post-Talmudic periods the tefillin were worn by <a href="/wiki/Rabbi" title="Rabbi">rabbis</a> and scholars all day, and a special tallit was worn at prayer; hence they put on the tefillin before the tallit, as appears in the order given in "Seder Rabbi Amram Gaon" (p. 2a) and in the <a href="/wiki/Zohar" title="Zohar">Zohar</a>. In modern practice, the opposite order is considered more "correct". Based on the Talmudic principle of <i>tadir v'she'ayno tadir, tadir kodem</i> (<span title="Hebrew-language text"><span lang="he" dir="rtl">תדיר ושאינו תדיר, תדיר קודם</span></span>: lit., frequent and infrequent, frequent first), when one performs more than one <a href="/wiki/Mitzva" class="mw-redirect" title="Mitzva">mitzva</a> at a time, those that are performed more frequently should be performed first.

Such garments were large, white and rectangular and used as a garment, shawl and burial shroud. These four-cornered garments are suitable for the climate of West Asia. On hot days the garment could be draped around the body and head to provide cover from the sun or just bunched up on the shoulders for later evening use; the evenings can be dramatically cool and the garment could be draped around the neck and shoulders like a scarf to provide warmth. </p><p>Jews became at risk of losing this mitzvah when four cornered garments went out of fashion and became impractical for everyday wear. And so, a poncho-like vest undergarment was developed as a practical solution to continue following the Torah commandment. This garment is most commonly known as tzitzit, but is also referred to as arba kanfot ("four corners"), or tallit katan ("small tallit").<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Jewish men wear the talit katan every day, most commonly worn under their clothing with the tzitzit knots hanging out.
