The Womens Scarf in the Biblical Times
The small piece of fabric i.e. scarf is so common in Jewish religion, and are traditionally worn to symbolize sanctity, character and modesty. The prayer scarves and shawl are commonly know as "talis" or "tallit", and is one of the iconic symbols of Judaism. Jewish women use them on different occasions like celebration, wedding, wedding, or prayer. During the biblical times, Jewish people commonly used the prayers scarves and shawl while participating in different religious activities. The new generation of Jews still using prayer scarves and shawl because it is symbolic and significant, while the remaining part of the world grew fondness to scarves because of their practicality.
A prayer shawl and scarves for women were commonly known as a "talis" which was seen as a religious cloak, canopy, shroud, garment or symbol that covers a Jew spiritually and physically. This is often used during times of sorrow, joy, celebration and prayer. Jews need to wear these during important Jewish occasions, namely: burials, weddings, barmitsvahs and circumcisions. Moreover, prayer shawls are also used as a protective covering over the Torah whenever it is moved.
It has also been a tradition for the Jews to wrap the dead in such garment as well. This piece of fabric is so widely used in the Jewish religion that it even serves as a canopy over wedding ceremonies or the couple that are about to wed. Another piece of trivia about prayer shawls is that they were used as a model to create the national flag. In fact, three different people came up with the same idea. The only difference was that they placed the Shield of David on the flag.
The prayer shawl was a significant part of the wardrobe of Jewish men during the biblical times. It also had several names as well, namely: "talith", "talis" or "talit." The word, "talith" is actually a combination of two separate Hebrew terms. "Tal" means tent in the English language while "Ith" stands for little. Combining these words together, you will form "Little Tent." Since every man during the biblical times owned a little tent, there were a good number of men that pursued a livelihood of being a tentmaker.
One prominent figure would be the apostle, Paul, who was actually a Jewish Pharisee and made tents for a living. Historians have hypothesized that he may have been more of prayer shawl maker than actually a tentmaker. Prayer shawls were not only sacred for the Jews but they also served as a metaphorical place of refuge for those who wanted to praise God. It was meant to wrap an individual in an intimate relationship with God through immense prayer.
The Hebrew writings written on the "Atarah" or crown stand for a blessing. This is also integral to the customary wardrobe of Jews during prayer. Hence, a prayer shawl is significant and symbolic because it signifies the presence of God here on earth. That is why even the new generations of Jews still use these garments up to this day.

What are some prayer focus' (icons, statues, candles, saints) for Buddhism?
The buddhist term for prayer literally translates "heart-wish", so you don't actually direct your prayers to something outside (like God, statues or other religious objects), but use it as a means of cultivating your own mind to become more loving, compassionate, generous, and so on.
Examples of Buddhist prayer phrases are:
"May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness"
"May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering"
"May I become a buddha for the benefit of all sentient beings"
You can also personalize your prayers by including specific persons or situations, like
"May the marriage of my parents heal"
"May aunt Judith be free from the pain she suffers"
"May the elections in Afghanistan proceed peacefully"
or whatever you have in mind.
The ultimate point of Buddhist prayer is cultivating your heart and mind so you actually become a person who not focuses egocentrically on your own wants, but actually uses your energy to help others - by cultivating positive qualities like compassion and love, and by gaining wisdom and understanding about how you CAN help others.
Here's an example of how a great Tibetan master, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, even uses the wonderful prayer of St. Francis in a Buddhist context (lower part of the yellow field), slightly supplemented by Lama Zopa Rinpoche himself:

About statues, pictures, and so on, you can use them as a help to focus your mind and get inspiration, but you never, ever use them as a focus for your prayers. Your focus is your own mind, or the beings you pray for, depending on how you see it.
