I’m pleased to announce an amazing new giveaway for Tallit Clips, sponsored by The Tallis Lady!
You may be asking what a Tallis is and what are Tallit clips? A Tallis is a prayer shawl and the Tallit clips are attached to it. Who needs these items? The Tallis Lady has a wonderful explanation on her site:
“At a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or Wedding, a tallit is often purchased for the groom or child coming of age as a religious ritual. For the Bar/Bat Mitzvah child the tallit is worn for the very first time when they read from the Torah. For the groom it is worn not at the wedding, but the next time he prays in the Synagogue.”
Why is the Tallis worn? Again, The Tallis Lady explains:
“Very simply, “tallit” means “little tent.” Designed to create your own private sanctuary when praying. One wraps the tallit around them and sometimes puts it on their head to have even a more personal prayer experience. It is the four fringes on each corner, “tzitsis” which have the most significant meaning on the garment. The tzitsis are to remind us during prayer of God’s laws. Without these fringes, the tallis has no religious significance.
“As stated in the book of Deuteronomy (22:12), the tzitzit (fringes) are to be placed on a four cornered garment. The Rabbi’s concluded that only a four cornered garment can have tzitzit. Thus, the origin of the prayershawl (tallit).”
These Tallit clips and everything else created by The Tallis Lady are incredible! She is inspired by the traditional religious styles and fabrics, but incorporates unique and modern elements that will excite and delight. The Tallis Lady is committed to creating and selling religious garments worn proudly, expressing the individuality we all possess.
What a great accompaniment to the tallit hand-woven by my late mother
Leon, what a wonderful legacy of faith and family from your mother! I have my late father’s tallit and it’s a prized possession of mine.
