An atarah for a tallit

Hi,

There is no obligation to put a decorative atarah (lit. crown) on the part of the tallit which goes on one's head, and many Jewish communities historically did not do it. However, one who has an atarah need not remove it.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 5:20:3)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
