Wearing the Tallit by Alphonse Levy

Description of the illustration: woodcut, Jewish, Rabbi, shawl, reading in the temple

In addition to the morning prayers of weekdays, Shabbat and holidays, a tallit gadol is also worn for Selichos in Ashkenazic communities by the prayer leader, even though it is still night. A tallit is also worn at night on Yom Kippur, from Kol Nidre, which begins during the daylight hours until after the evening (Ma'ariv) service.
