THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely LOVE the tallit. It is beautiful and you did a fabulous job. I can’t wait to see it draped on Emma at the Bat Mitzvah. Thank you again!
 Lisa F., Pine Brook, NJ

 

 

Everything was absolutely magnificent! Thank you for being a part of my daughter’s day and creating such  masterpieces for both of us!
Sharon E., Plano, TX

 

The kippah came yesterday and I was stunned by its loveliness!  The photo didn't begin to do it justice.  It really took my breath away and made begin to feel that Emma's big day is just around the corner and will be most spiritual, thanks in no small part to the beautiful kippah, which I feel also is really lovely hair jewelry!  Please feel free to use me as a "reference" any time someone needs to know about your work.  Let me say also, that the process of creating it with you was even more lovely than the final product, if that is even possible.

Hannah and I just opened her kippah, and it is absolutely gorgeous! I love how it sparkles in the light, and it has such a sweet look to it.  The crystals and pearls are delicate, just as we had hoped. You are so wonderful to have added a bonus, the beautiful tallit clip! She will look stunning with her tallit, kippah and clip at her bat mitzvah and, G-d Willing, for many Shabbatot to come.
Leslie S., Nashville, TN

I just had to write and tell you how beautiful the wedding was, and how many compliments I received on my kippah veil.  It was gorgeous and I couldn't have been happier!  I've since worn it to services and not only does it make me smile to be wearing something that was so important under the chuppah, my husband loves seeing it as well.
Michele T., Laurel, MD

 

Ali LOVES her tallit and we both LOVE our kippot.  Thank you for the beautiful work. We will be wearing them with pride knowing they were hand-made  by you.
Bari B., Charlotte, NC

 

 

The kippah arrived and it is truly one of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen.  I can't wait to wear it beginning this Rosh Hashanah.  You are quite impeccable in your art form and I feel lucky to have connected with you.  Many blessings for a L'Shana Tova and may your work continue to flourish.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the atarah.  It is unique to our synagogue, where many have traditional atarot.  You have created something with an “old world look” that matches my tallis beautifully.  Thanks again.
 Bob B., Fairport, NY

I just opened the package and your work is stunningly beautiful.  I was breathless.  The colors are
perfect.  It is going to be wonderful putting them together.  I can't thank you enough for your
help in choosing the right fabric and stitching.  You are spectacular at your craft and I hope
to be able to commission you again sometime in the future.  I will be sure to let everyone
who asks exactly where the custom work came from.
 Linda L., Scarsdale, NY

I just picked up my package!  I am so thrilled w/ what you did.  Absolutely beautiful — they feel sacred to me.
 Sarah S., Syracuse, NY

We received the tallit and we love it.  You did a beautiful job with the atarah, matching the yarns of the scarf, and the lions are great, and you did such a great job finishing it all around (I wasn't sure how it would look with such a heavy wool).   Thank you again so much.  You are wonderful to work with!
 Mary W., San Francisco, CA

 

I've been meaning to send you pictures from Ariella's Bat Mitzvah (way back in April!).  Of course she loved the tallit and received many, many compliments.  Thanks again for your hard work!
Michal V., Los Angeles, CA

The kippah is so beautiful.  It is absolutely perfect and is exactly what Sydney wanted.  She is so excited and couldn't get over that someone made it.  The colors of the beads perfectly match her tallit.  She even loves the pink bag it came in.  I am sure she will always treasure it and it will make her special day that more special.
Nancy J., Atlanta, GA

Your kippah arrived and it is just GORGEOUS. Very beautiful! Although intended for my wedding dinner, I couldn't resist the temptation of already wearing it for Shabbat dinner at home -- my fiancé also loved it!
Esther H., The Hague, Netherlands
 

 

I love my tallit, kippah & tallit bag!  You are phenomenal & I cannot begin to express how thrilled I am that I'm the proud owner an original custom made masterpiece.  You are incredibly artistic and creative and have this gift of interpreting exactly what it was that I wanted even before I knew exactly what I wanted.  These will become family heirlooms!
Arlene M., Greensboro, NC

 

Beautiful.  Exceeded my expectations!  Already gave your number and website to others.  Thank you so much, Jan, for making it so easy, so reasonably priced and everything I wanted.

Barb S., Brookline, MA

 

I am SO sorry I haven't written earlier to tell you how much I love the tallit bag and kippot that you made for me.   They arrived in the mail several days ago and I wanted to let you know how truly impressed I am with your talent and skills.
 Carol L., Hendersonville, NC

 

 

Your package arrived yesterday. The pictures do not do the corners and atarah justice.  I LOVE the frame on the corners. It really does complement the design on the tallit.   Thanks for everything.
 Fran M., Calabassas, CA

 

 

I wanted to thank you for the atarah you made for me.  It is truly breathtakingly beautiful.  When I opened the box (with some trepidation, I'll admit) I actually laughed out loud.  My wife was amazed. Your work is exceptional and as beautiful as it is unique.  In wildest fancy, I could not even hope for such an atarah. I wore it to shul this past Shabbat, and frankly it was almost embarrassing the compliments I received about its beauty.  Thank you again for your time, talent and understanding. This is truly an example of "Chidur HaMitzva!"  All the best and Shanna Tova u'Metukah.
Rabbi Gordon R., Denver, CO

 

I just can't tell you how beautiful my husband's tallit is.  I am so excited.  He loved it when he saw it.  And, oh yes, my daughter's kippah is lovely.  Just lovely.  Thank you so much!  I plan on spreading the word!
 Robin R., Cherry Hill, NJ

The embroidery arrived on Friday and let me tell you, it all exceeded my expectations (which were pretty high to begin with).  Really, really pleased here. The first thing I did was lay out my tallit and mock it up with the atarah and the corners - wow, it makes a huge difference, and makes it sing. You picked the perfect thread colors - not exactly what I think I suggested, and good for that - you have a great eye.  I have been recommending you to all the other people in the class with enthusiasm.  I love the lion, too. Perfect!  Thank you SO much - Miranda loves hers too.  Hope to work with you again.
 Judah O., Bethesda, MD

The kippot arrived yesterday and are both simply lovely.  Lily is OVER the moon about hers, so many, many thanks for your special part in next week's simcha.  I shall think of you during the bat mitzvah as I see Lily lean over the Torah and read to us of Jacob's dream.
Amy L., Harrison, NY

Just wanted to let you know my veil arrived and it is beautiful!!!  I am so thrilled with the kippah I can't even tell you....I love it.  I am totally amazed - I have no idea how you make them, but they are beautiful. Thank you so much!
Norissa S., Milwaukee, WI

 

Jan, today was the day I wore my tallit for the first time.  The rabbi gave me a blessing and I had an aliyah.  Afterwards, everyone totally oooed and aaaahed over it.  There's no question but that everyone else also thinks it's just beautiful.  But most important, I just absolutely love it.  It's MINE, filled with meaning and blessing.  Wish you could have been there to see and hear everyone's wonderful comments on it!

Jane M., Roslindale, MA

 

Shabbat Shalom.   My wedding is in two weeks time but I wanted to drop you a note that I had my hair trial last week and the veil was absolutely stunning.  People approached me at the salon and asked me where I purchased it.  I'll be sure to send you pictures.
Leta H., Richmond, CA

It's here! and it's absolutely the most beautiful kippah I've ever seen.  It's truly a work of art, and a piece of jewelry, and an expression of my faith and spirituality all in one.  I can't begin to thank you enough.  I hope your holidays are wonderful and that the new year brings health, love, prosperity and laughter to you and all you love.
Carin H., Cape Coral, FL

Gorgeous is far from an appropriate word to describe the kippah.  It is exquisite!  And that's understated.  I will feel just as beautiful as it looks.  How can I ever say thank you?  You have blessed me more than I can put into words.
Elisheva H., Charleston, SC

 

I wanted to let you know that Rachel absolutely loved her kippah.  It was so beautiful sparkling in her hair.  What a beautiful way to honor Shabbat.  Thank you for making the world a better place.  Tikkun Olam.
Patricia R., Anchorage, AK

 

We got the tallit yesterday and it is beautiful.  You did a wonderful job.   We'll keep you in mind when my other daughter is ready in about 1 1/2 years.  Thanks again.
 Patricia I., Plymouth, MN

 

I can't thank you enough for your flexibility, your willingness to communicate with me, and your skill as a fabric artist.  You, like Bezalel, are truly 'in the shadow of God' when it comes to making beautiful objects for hiddur mitzvah.
Rabbi Neal L., Poughkeepsie, NY 

  

Thank you for the beautiful work on the tallit I received for Chanukah.  I am very impressed by what you do and the powerful effect it has on the lives and davening of many.  I treasure it and will wear it with joy and love.
Jenn B., Poughkeepsie, NY

 

The tallit arrived several days ago.  The girls wanted to make sure that I told you that they absolutely loved them.  They are really beautiful.  People's mouths dropped open when I showed them.  It was very nice collaborating with you. Thank you so much.
Esther F., York, PA 

You are amazing.  The atarah looks absolutely fantastic!  You have given Elias a true gift and I know that he will be very touched.  He is extremely blessed to have such a kind friend.
Cantor E.R., Charlotte, NC

 

 

Brandon did an incredible job and this very special tallit just made the entire day wonderful, unique and very special for him.  It brought tears to my eyes just thinking about how much thought he put into the design.  It was wonderful to get to actually meet you and have you help us design such a gorgeous tallit that he will love and cherish forever.
Alice H., Coral Gables, FL

 

 

The tallit is magnificent.  You did a remarkable job.  I don't know what I would have done without you.  You saved the bar mitzvah!  My husband fell in love with it when he came  home.  You are a success in this  house and a joy to work with!
Betty H., Westchester, NY

 

I was at a conference at JTS in New York and just returned home last night.  Waiting for me was the Atarah and corners you sent.  Jan; you are an artist!  So beautiful.  Once I get them sewed onto the tallit and tie the tzitzit I’ll send you a photo.  I can’t tell you how happy I was with the quality of work.
 Rob B., Beverly Hills, MI

I just wanted to thank you so very much for the amazing job that you did with the Atarah.  It was exactly what we wanted and my son was so proud when he put his tallit on for the first time.  Thanks so much!  The whole process of ordering was so simple and quick, especially since I had left it so late.  I will definitely pass your name on to friends and family when they are looking for a personalized tallit.
Sharon L., Ontario, Canada

Shalom Jan!  I wanted to tell you that my aunt just loved the tallit. Her eyes welled up.  Thank you so much (once again) for the beautiful work.
 Garrett R., Bonners Ferry, ID

I just opened the box.  The tallit is gorgeous -- it's almost too nice to wear!  I will look forward to wearing it this Shabbat!
Steven M., Merrick NY

You are simply marvelous!  The tallit clip and kippah knocked my sox across the room!  Perfect for the occasion. Love, love, love them.
