Excerpt from The Faiths of the Peoples, Vol. 1 of 2
In the Bima stand three ministers, clad in the ordinary black cassock, wearing white linen bands under the chin, and on their heads high, flat-topped hats of black velvet. Each male member of the congregation wears a talith, commonly called by the German Jews talis, or long white scarf with coloured stripes and fringe at the ends, which he adjusts round his shoulders as he enters.
