A tallit is an item that can last a lifetime! For both boys and girls, their tallit is a fond reminder of their Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mizvah, where they first fulfilled the mitzvah of wearing a tallit. The prayer shawl also makes a great, practical, and long-lasting gift that would be appropriate for many Jewish occasions. So receiving a tallit is an important event in a Jewish person's life, as it is a sacred symbol and allows the wearer to perform the mitzvah of wearing tzitzit.
What is the Special Message of the Tallit?
The message of wearing a tallit importantly lies in its fringes on the four corners. These fringes are meant to remind the wearer of G-d and his commandments and obligation to fulfill them.
According to Kabbalah, scholars of the Torah wear tallit over their heads as is signifies the light of the Torah that envelopes them. They have this custom of covering their heads with a tallit for the entire prayer. This act creates a private, special space for the wearer. The envelopment helps them to focus on personal connection with the almighty.
Choosing the Perfect Bar Mitzvah Tallit
There are simply so many different styles, sizes, and types of tallitot and this makes searching for a suitable tallit much like shopping for clothes and the wearer's personal tastes including the color, style, size, and fabric can lead them in the right direction to find the perfect one.
The process of choosing a tallit is an emotional one. And taking the time to choose one allows a moment for everyone involved to take a step back and focus on the importance of the prayer shawl in their Jewish journey.
If you find the process of choosing the tallit a little daunting, here are four tips to make the process a little easier.
So, let’s begin:
Try it on for the perfect size
Mostly, tallitot are offered in two sizes - a conventional tallit gadol and a shawl size. Shawls are made using less material and worn with all four corners hanging in the front of the person wearing it. A tallit gadol is larger and worn draped up and folded over the person's shoulders. While traditional styles used to be more prevalent in Orthodox communities, but the introduction of modern Bar Mitzvah tallit has taken hold as a popular choice for many boys.
Talking about the Red Wine Bar Mitzvah Tallit, the tallit is beautiful and richly adorned that will remind you of the red wine used in the blessing of the wine during Shabbat. The tallit is decorated with unique patterned fabrics and ribbons in Bordeaux shades. This can make a wonderful gift for any special occasion or for any man in your life! Hand made in Israel, the Atara is embroidered and the blessing is in Hebrew.
The best way to figure out which tallit size you want is to try them on! Wrap yourself up in the tallit and imagine what it would feel like standing on the bima for your Bar Mitzvah.
Be true to yourself
When you are preparing for your Bar Mitzvah, there can be many voices vying for attention in each decision - the decorations, the attire, the food. However, the decision of which Bar Mitzvah tallit to choose (size, color, fabric, and materials) should be completely yours. Choose something you cans ee yourself being excited to wear for the rest of your life. How about Magen David Bar Mitzvah Tallit?
The blue tallit is decorated with prestigious stripes in Bordeaux with a pattern of multiple Magen David – Star of David motifs. The Atara is embroidered in white on Bordeaux background and the blessing is in Hebrew.
Find a connection
For many, the opportunity to wear old tallit can bring joy and strengthen the bond across generations. Even if the tallitot are not new, they carry a story of family history and importance in one's own Jewish identity.
However, you can also establish the same connection with a new tallit. Perhaps a certain pattern or color may bring to mind a memory that serves as central to your personality and approach to life.
Perhaps you are inspired by the all-encompassing walls of Jerusalem where Jews from all over the world come together to pray, then why not try Galilee Silks 'Colorful Walls of Jerusalem Viscose Tallit,' for an example.
