TALLIT, ATARAH, PRAYER SHAWL and CHUPPAH
May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart... Atarah $150 silk charmeuse
The donning of a prayer shawl or a tallit bids us pay attention. We wear a tallit for morning prayers and festival days, a prayer shawl without tzitzit other times.
We should know which end is up in this complex world, hence we wear an atarah (a collar, literally, a crown). You may order one separately, or I will make you both together. If you desire a tallit, there will be reinforced corners with tzitzit tied by me or you may tie your own.
My congregation is filled with joyous singers-- my use of color reflects that joy. Have favorite colors? Tell me, please.

I draw and paint each tallit by hand. If a prayer, Torah portion, or symbol resonates for you, especially as an adult B'nai Mitzvah, let's talk about a custom design.
Now to the prayer-- There is one that you may say,"Blessed are you, Lord, our God, sovereign of the universe, Who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to wrap ourselves in the tzitzit."
There may be another that speaks to your intention. Let it be one that calls to you when you read it in preparation to open your inner spirit. This is mine, including the vowels; you may have them without.
"May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to thee Adonai, my rock and my redeemer."
