Are these Jewish words?

Hi, not a jew, but I grew up in a relatively Jewish neighborhood. There are some words I thought I knew as Jewish words but whenever I see them written out it’s something completely different, like a totally different word.

Is kipper a word for the hat men wear? Is like a talles or tzletstlez a word for that fringed shirt some Jewish men wear under their clothes? Is a tishkul a word for the headscarf some Jewish married women wear? Is shalom alayikum a greeting?

If these are actual words, what are the proper English spellings? If not, what are the actual words?
