Best Answer

The Hebrew name for the 'prayer shawl' is 'tallit'. Many Jews of European decent also refer to the tallit as a 'tallis'. Jewish people do not call it a prayer shawl.
The tallit is traditionally worn only by men (and in some synagogues, only married men) for morning prayer services. The only time when a tallit is worn for evening prayers is on Yom Kippur.
