In religion, as aged and as rooted in tradition as Judaism, the tallit is perhaps the most recognizable and universal Jewish ritual symbol, with a rich history going back over a millennium. But over the years, as human civilization evolved and has gone many changes both in terms of customs as well cultural inclinations, the Jewish tradition and the tallit are also not different from this.
There was a time when the tallits were worn only by men while women were not allowed to wear this prayer shawl. However, with the change of perception and the increased number of independent women, especially in the last few decades in the society, many women have begun wearing the tallit at synagogue services and many young girls wear them at their bat mitzvahs ceremony.
In accordance with this welcoming change, we at Galilee Silks have come up with an exclusive collection of hand-made woman tallit that goes beyond just being a prayer shawl. Read on as we will be sharing all the crucial aspects related to this unique religious attire in respect to its use and how our products abide by all requirements. So, let's get started:
Why do women’s tallitot have so much significance in Judaism?
In the traditional times, the tallits used to come only in black and white stripes. But, if we look at the current trend of the human civilization, the tallit for women is no longer limited to being only a prayer shawl technically worn in the synagogues but have evolved beyond that and have become a fashion statement by itself. This is why Galilee Silks have come up with a creative, diversified collection of women tallit that will not just make you remember God but also make you feel fabulous from within. So, here are some facts that will give you a broad overview of our tallitot.
The Gradual Evolution
As mentioned earlier, tallits were originally worn only by men in the Jewish community. In fact, the followers of Judaism have excluded women from many religious practices. However, with the movement of independent women, we can now see them also wearing tallit besides men. But unlike the standard men's tallit, the women's tallitot are quite different.
They are made with three different base materials, giving the girls and women an extensive choice of a tallit to wear on their festive Bat Mitzvah day, Wedding or Shabbat. The three styles are Sheer, Opaque and Semi-Sheer, so every girl and woman can decide how emphasized her tallit or dress will be.
The Use of Pure Fabric
If you look at the Jewish customs and rituals, you can find that wool and silk or woven synthetic cotton is the purest and the preferable fabrics for making a tallit. According to a Biblical commandment (Deuteronomy 22:11), combining wool and linen in the same garment is prohibited. This is the reason why we at GalileeSilks, only make tallitot from 100% pure quality fabrics. We have incorporated a variety of designs in different styles, colors and various types of fabrics to enhance the elegance that would soothe the eye and evoke a sense of respect as well.
