I have just finished two copies of my “Mizpah” Tallit, inspired by the Mizpah Covenant between Jacob and Laban in  Genesis 31:49, popularized as a romantic pledge between two people – “The LORD watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another.”

The colors represent the map of the hill country of Gilead and the Jabbok River valley where the Mizpah Covenant was made.

This lush tallit as 108″ long plus fringes, and 21″ wide.  It is made from 100% cotton (exclusive of the atarah), and includes the atarah and hand-tied tzit-zit.

There are currently two  available, and they would make a fine Bride and Groom wedding pair.

Price: $250.00

Part of our Handwoven Judaica line is the Prayer Shawl or Tallit. Three new ones are about to go on my loom.  They will be offered in our Etsy Shop, but special oredrs are available.  Email me at w.william.melnyk@gmail.com

The Tallit Prayer Shawl

Prayer Shawl Will      Prayer Shawl Glyn

These Prayer Shawls are for your personal use in prayer, shown here
in light or dark blue stripes,
but other colors/designs are possible

They are approximately 21″ wide by 8′ long (plus fringe)
and can be fitted with Tassels at the four corners.
They are made from 100% mercerized cotton and are gently washable,
though we recommend dry cleaning.

What makes a Tallit Kosher?

Our Tallits are about 21″ – 22″ wide and 8′ long plus fringe, which makes them the narrower, around the shoulders version rather than the larger over the head type.  They are made from a single fiber, 100% cotton, and the four fringes (tzitzit) are made from the same fiber.  They are tied in our own style, with five knots.  Of course you could add your own, in any of the traditional styles.  There are many opinions about what makes a proper Tallit, but we feel confident ours are appropriate to wear in Temple in most places, as well as at home.  Our reference is this excellent article in Ben’s Tallit Shop.

Check with your own Rabbi about wearing in Temple.

Price:  $225.00

If not in Stock,
Allow 4 – 6 Weeks for Delivery

The Tallits shown here were woven by Will.
You can ask for your design and color for the stripes, within some limitations.
