Invest in a thoughtful and durable gift for Bar Mitzvah for your boy

The shul Tallit with white and black stripes is among the most commonly sought one and it being a conventional piece is quite famous with worshippers too.

Nevertheless, a buyer has a large spectrum of choices as numerous luxury materials and designs are now available in the market for Tallit. In different Orthodox practices and forms of Judaism, the conventional black-white Tallit is a still favorable choice. There are other congregations that use the rainbow-stripe Tallit or scarves in earth tones, or Jerusalem motifs, and other styled motifs, etc. What may appear to many a simple change of color is actually a significant change to believers and worshippers as many stick to the conventional black and white stripe one as per their beliefs. While many are now choosing more unconventional models with colors or distinct designs and religious patterns, hand-woven prayer shawls are not unheard of and are largely supplied by Israel based factories.  Modern Tallit for boy is often bought as a purchase for the bar mitzvah while some also gift Tallit to their sons or sons in law for wedding gift or as dowry.

The Fabric

The fabric is the most common yet a significant aspect of the Tallit as manufactures make talittot in a variety of fabrics ranging from affordable to luxurious. Wool synthetic blend or wool is commonly sought and is among the most affordable choices and is also considered by believers due to Halacha. A denser or different weave of materials is also available and often includes stain resistant or other specially treated fabric.  Since Silk is among the most luxurious and refined fabrics, it is often used for making designer Tallit due to this higher detail and beautiful sheen. Cotton, linen and other blends are also easily available for the Tallit. 

Colors

The white and black striped Tallit is the most preferred and most common one but it is also devoid of colors. Sephardic Jews often buy white Tallit that has white stripes on it and though, white on while sounds a bit bland, the end product looks far more elegant in practical than in thought. Ivory and other light shades of beige and off-white hand-woven material is also used in making the Tallit which look traditional with a dash of distinct design without looking over the top.

Silk Tallit are usually available in a variety of colors due to the higher refined appearance they come with. Wool and other synthetic blend Tallits can also be purchased in pastel or vibrant shades. Blue stripes on white fabric along with the black stripes are also a famous choice as it doesn't appear too eccentric but doesn't appear too bland either. Also, blue balances the shawl and makes it appear smooth, with some flare and the color's association with Israel gives it an even preferred appearance.

Design

Modern Tallit for boy comes in a variety of striped and motif design so you can purchase the one with simple ivory or golden designs or take home an embroidered or luxurious fabric with stripes.
