The purpose of the Talit was actually to wear tzitzit (tassels).

Rosh Hashanah - literally translated from Hebrew as "Head [beginning] of the Year" is the name of the Jewish New Year. In the Jewish calendar Rosh Hashanah always falls on the first two days of the autumn month of Tishrei and is both a holiday and, most importantly, the day of the Supreme Court. According to Jewish tradition, it is in Rosh Hashanah that the sentence for the next year is determined. People often mix Rosh Ha-Shana and Yom Kippur. Some also name Yom Kippur as a Day of Judgement, but this is not correct, because Yom Kippur is Day of Atonement and not a Day of Judgement.
