Who uses a prayer shawl?

My sister-in-law makes them along with other women in the church and they pray over them and give them to those who are sick

There are 2 types of prayer shawls and they are supposed to be used by every Jewish "male" child and adult . There is the Tallit katan the small prayer shawl that a Jewish "male" wears as an undergarment at all times. The other, Tallit gadol the large prayer shawl is used specificly at prayers and is visible to all, meaning that it's worn over the clothes.

They contain 4 corners with fringes at every corner which are called tzitzit originally they were to contain a string of blue at each corner but some rabbi's debate wether or not to use a blue string since the animal or insect which some argue it was a fish and some a snail used to make the color blue of the dye for the string became extinct.

However, in recent years a rabbi has said that this dye has been found in a snail. Weather or not there will ever be a unified rabbinical agreement to this topic remains to be seen because number 1 this dye quickly runs in a single wash, and if you wash it a couple of times more the dye fades away. So because of this, some rabbi's disagree that it is the correct animal for the dye.

The gemetria for tzitzit is 613 which adds up to the number of mitzvot given to every Jew.

Which knitting catalog? If it is the one I am thinking of, those weren't Jewish tallitim -- the fringed prayer shawls Jewish men wear. Those are shawls that some Christian and Catholic women wear when praying.

Prayer shawls are commonly used by jewish people, i dont know all the details of what it represents but i think its for keeping scripture in front of your eyes at all times. You will see this in jewish synagogues.

Depends on the prayer shawl. If you mean for Jews, I made one myself. I went to Macy's (!), bought a tablecloth with some really nice designs on it (making sure it was not of mixed fibers - no linen and wool) and bought a set of Tzitzit that I tied myself (and let me tell you - that took TIME to do it properly!)

On the other hand, it looks great and I like the bigger tallitot.

1st Corinthians 11:7--For a man ought not to have his head covered, as he is God’s image and glory... You are right, the Bible says that a man should not have his head covered. When there is a disagreement between a movie and the Bible, it is generally considered good form to accept the Bible over the movie. Jesus did not cover his head when praying or teaching or anything else.

I wear one and it's called a "tallit." They have a special printed blessing sewn at each corner where the tzit tzit (tassels with 613 knots) are attached and a strip across the top that goes across the head.
