Tallitot (plural for tallit)
"Thou shalt make thee
twisted cords upon the four
corners of thy coverings,
wherewith thou coverest
thyself." (Deuteronomy
22:12)
Commissioning a Custom
Tallit:
Each tallit I make is
one-of-a-kind and made of
silk, lightweight wool crepe
or another suitable fabric.
The process begins with a
client's vision and we work
together over time to bring
our combined ideas
together. Some decisions
are made quickly; others
take more time.
I have thousands of
embroidery designs in
inventory and, if necessary,
I can have your custom
artwork digitized for
embroidery. Additional fees
will apply but I will give
you the quote before any
work is done.
If you are searching for a
particular design, feel free
to visit this website where
you can search by category
or key word.

If you find something you
like, jot down the design
number and I'll purchase it
for you. Once the design,
fabrics and cost have been
agreed upon, I will prepare
a color drawing to show the
layout of the elements. A
50% deposit will be required
before I purchase fabrics
and trims.
If you are considering a
custom tallit, please allow
a minimum of 6-8 weeks as I
often have many projects
going at one time.
I get many inquiries asking
for the price of a tallit.
It is impossible to quote
without knowing what the
fabric, style or complexity
of the finished garment will
be. However, most of my
tallitot are pieced silk and
there is a great deal of
labor involved. My minimum
price is $200.

tallit:

Blessed are you,
Lord our God,
Ruler of the
Universe, who
has sanctified
us
with God's
commandments and
commanded us to
wrap ourselves
in fringes. |
