What does TALLIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fringed shawl worn by Jewish men, traditionally during morning prayer.
A tallis is knotted with ritual fringes at each of its four corners in accordance with a commandment in the Torah, and it is put on at morning services and, by some, kept on throughout the day. The word reflects the Ashkenazic pronunciation of the Hebrew tallith, while a Sephardic-based transliteration renders the very same garment as tallit. English dictionaries treat tallis and tallit as spellings of one and the same word rather than as two different garments.
