Why the Prayer Shawl?
The prayer shawl (tallit in Hebrew) is a fulfillment of the commandment described in Numbers 15. Here God commands the Jewish people to attach fringes (tzizit) to the corners of their garments. We therefore put on a four cornered garment to fulfill this expressed Divine Desire. The strings symbolize our being bound up with G-d and serve as a reminder of the commandments in general. Our selection here includes both traditional and modern prayers shawls. If you have any questions or would like more information about the use of the prayer shawl, please contact us.
