Those days have gone when people used tallit only as a religious prayer shawl and wore it to attend religious ceremonies or synagogue congregation. Now, tallit works also as a fashion garment in addition to being a sacred piece of garment. Especially women now prefer to buy those types of tallit which can be adorned as a stylish shawl on different occasions. But how did the transition takes place? There are also some differences in fabric, weaving style, color, and design that bring a modern fashionable approach.
Let’s check out the top 5 inclusions to modernize tallit as a style statement-
1. A new choice of fabrics for the gorgeous looks-
The first noticeable change that has taken place to bring a revolutionary change in tallit preparation is the fabric. In earlier days, only white champion wool was used to weave the tallit. On the contrary, the manufacturers now use original silk, wool, voile, viscose, chine silk and rayon to bring on the gorgeous looks on the table. Eventually, women love to display and wear these glossy tallitot on their wedding and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies.
2. Single boring colors - out; experiment with vibrant colors - in
The classic tallit is based on only white body color with blue and black stripes. For a long period, women also could wear an only white single color wool tallit. It turned out to be a little boring and women wanted to feel unique. Keeping this in mind, the manufacturers thought of including bright and vibrant colors to make tallit for women. Women love to adorn Purple, Dark Pink, Lilac, Blue and Green shades of colorful tallitot that portrays a unique style statement.
3. Unique and modern designs instead of old, traditional stripes-
When you want to adorn a prayer shawl as fashionable wear, a unique design can help you serve the purpose. Coming out from the boring black or blue stripes on the white body and the knotted fringes at each corner of the tallit, different sheer designs have made their entry. New design patterns like Baby blue and silver floral motifs, purple wave, blue flowers, pink star, Lilac Pomegranates, silk stripes are added. Without totally deviating from tradition, there is a contemporary twist by adding to the tallit stunning hand-painted Jewish symbols and motifs like Jerusalem city, Star of David, Lion of Judea, Tree of Life, and more.
4. Customization allows prioritizing every woman’s choice-
Every woman has a different taste and they love to carry a tallit that displays something special. While manufacturing, embroidering a name or message can be included on the tallit bag. If you want to gift someone a personalized tallit with their name, Galilee Silks provides the option to embroider a personalized name using different colors and motifs on the tallit bag. This can be in both Hebrew and English. The religious scripture and blessing are also embroidered on the atara in Hebrew, in a matching color.

The most popular one is adorned as a Shawl that comes in a standard size of 20"x72" and the design pattern is featured on one side of the tallit. The second one is traditional that showcases a full-size design that measures 55"x72".
