revachols

Revachols are a type of traditional Jewish prayer shawl, also known as a tallit katan or prayer shawl. They are typically worn by men during weekday morning prayers and are an essential component of Orthodox Jewish prayer attire. The term "revachols" is derived from the Hebrew word "revach," which means "fringe" or "tassel." These fringes are a distinctive feature of the revachols and are often made of a different material than the main body of the shawl, such as wool or silk.

The revachols are usually made of linen and are rectangular in shape, with a specific number of fringes on each side. The number of fringes can vary, but it is often 8 on each side, totaling 16 fringes. The fringes are attached to the edges of the shawl and are used to cover the hands during the prayer service. The revachols are typically worn over the right shoulder and are held in place with a belt or sash.

The revachols are an important symbol of Jewish identity and are worn by many Orthodox Jews as a sign of their religious observance. They are also a practical item, as they provide warmth and protection during the cold winter months. The revachols are an essential part of the traditional Jewish prayer attire and are worn by many Jews around the world.
