Does women also wear tallit prayer shawl?

Yes, some women do wear a tallit (a Jewish prayer shawl), although traditionally, wearing a tallit has been more common among men. In recent decades, many Jewish women, especially in more liberal or progressive communities, have chosen to wear a tallit during prayer, particularly in Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionist congregations.

In Orthodox Judaism, the practice of women wearing a tallit is less common, as it is traditionally seen as a commandment (mitzvah) that is time-bound, which, according to Jewish law, applies only to men. However, some Orthodox women may still choose to wear a tallit, particularly during certain religious occasions or private prayers.

The practice varies widely depending on the community and denomination.
