Not knowing the ancient origin of the talit means I can't wear it? That's a weird rule. Anyway I looked it up and there seems to be some evidence to suggest that the talit did in fact have a secular/pagan origin. https://www.olivetreebiblebook.com/origins-of-the-tallit.html And who is the authority to determine when I know enough about ancient Judea and the other studies of all things relating to Jews? Granted yes, I'm farm from an expert but I am actively learning, and i definitely know more than the average person about Jewish culture and religion. I even speak a Jewish language. So please don't judge my Jewishness on my ignorance about the ancient pagan version of the talit.
