The tallit (TAH-leet), or Jewish prayer shawl, is a sacred garment worn during prayer as a symbol of faith and connection.
Tzitzit (TZEET-zeet) are the knotted fringes found on the four corners of the tallit. They serve as a reminder of your Jewish identity and values, inspiring you to live each day with intention and integrity.
Parents, siblings, and grandparents are invited to take part in this special experience. If there is a beloved aunt, uncle or close family friend, they're welcome to join as well. We encourage keeping the ceremony initmate, as it's most meaningful when shared with your immediate family.
