The scarf tallit

Hi,

A scarf worn around the neck is exempt from tzitzit, even if it is of significant length. [This is one of the reasons that a tallit should not be worn around one's neck, but rather should be draped over the body.]

(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 10:11; Mishneh Berurah 10:34)

Chag sameach,
Mordechai
