Tallit for girls – a statement of faith
Since the very beginning of Judaism, Jews were required to wear “fringes” on their garments as a reminder of the 613 laws by which a Jew is required to lead their lives – the numerical value of the Hebrew for fringes (tzitzit) is 600 and the 8 threads and 5 knots from which each fringe is made bring the total to 613. Over the centuries, the fringes developed into the tallit. Today, the tallit is a symbol of our faith and is worn by both men and women, there are even tallit for girls who to wish to make a statement regarding their commitment to their faith, their family and their community.
Tallit for girls make a special and spiritual gift
Our faith is constantly developing and adapting to new realities. This is a necessity if Judaism is to continue to flourish and strengthen. One symbol of that change are the ever increasing numbers of women and girls who don the tallit at Temple or on Shabbat and High Holy days as an expression of their faith and in order to bring themselves closer to God. The very act of shrouding ourselves in the tallit, made according to strict religious principals allows us to enter deep into our souls and to make a personal contact with God. This devotion is also adopted by the daughters of these women who desire their own, special tallit for girls.
