Tallit &Scarf
Many people visit Jewish / Messianic
Congregations and wonder why men wear prayer shawls (Tallit) & women wear
scarves. The answer depends on which group is wearing the Tallit or scarf.
A Christian Non-Jew might wear the Tallit because:
1. Respect for HaShem (Adonai) & His Messiah.
The scarf is worn for the same reasons outlined above.
While women are not (or may not) be required to wear Tzitzit, the are told to
dress modestly. Additionally, women are required to cover the head when
reciting prayers.
Legalism?
The wearing of Tallit is not legalism as many charge, for no
one is saying it is a requirement for a relationship with G-d, or for
forgiveness of sins. Following G-d's commands and living a Torah observant
Lifestyle is not about earning G-d's Love, for it is freely given through His
Messiah. Living a Torah observant Lifestyle is about walking in the steps
of His Messiah, who perfectly kept Torah, who Loved Torah and Who is the Living
Torah. Many in the Church wear bracelets with "WWJD",
we as Messianic Believers choose to do just that, Live as Yeshua Lived, and
wants us to Live. To present ourselves as living sacrifices, Holy and
pleaseing unto Adonai.
