A
tallit is not just a piece of cloth in the lives of a Jew. It keeps significant
importance in religious as well as well spiritual terms. Its relation to 613
commandments of the Torah remains a prominent reason. Today, tallit-prayer
shawls are not worn solely by Jews, but Christians also use them.
I
was looking to by a bar mitzvah tallit for my little boy who was about the age for
this ceremony. Bar Mitzvah is one of the auspicious ceremonies and everyone in
the family celebrates this ceremony as the young one gets blessed. In search
for finding something new, I almost visited every Judaica store in the market.
But things were as usual and boring!
What are AS-USUAL tallits!
It means that most of them were very common and had
normal designs.
Bar Mitzva is once in a lifetime occasion and I wanted something
different. In fact, I had an image set in my mind. When you have decided the
type you are looking for, it becomes very difficult to make a selection from
the common ones.
What I was searching for?
Now you might not face a challenge like me because I am
an artist. With an artistic eye, I always wanted hand painted things. But most
of the places you will find normal machine prints.
Hand painted costs more. But considering the occasion, it
is acceptable. Even when after searching for about a week, I was fed up with
the products, I thought to make one. But the time was very less.
The last option left was to search
online
If you search for tallit
prayer, multiple websites comes up. Now being a layman in online retail
stores, I asked my nephew to look for it. He is an expert and orders most of
the things online.
He says that online shopping is the best as you can have
products in much lesser prices than retail stores – around on the street!
Trusting his word of mouth, I sat with him to hunt the best product down.
Tallit – Prayer Shawls from Galilee
Silks
As we were going through various products, suddenly one
product caught my eye. It was not only excellent, but was made on pure fabric.
Purity of fabric keeps significant importance in Jewish customs.
We made a general search in Google, and hovered through
in the images section. This particular tallit was not only hand painted, but
was hand as well. But that was not the design I was searching for. So I asked
my nephew to click on the visit website tab.
As he clicked, I was amazed to find such diverse
varieties! Moreover, the products were not only unique but had various
categories. Prices at Galilee Silks are reasonable and I guarantee that you
will not find similar products anywhere else!
I ended up buying not only tallits but
hand painted scarves!
One of the biggest concerns for tallits is; it must come
with a matching kippa, an atara and a bag. This makes a product complete. At
Galilee Silks you are going to find them all. In fact, if you go through the
color chart on their websites, you will find some unique patterns. I was so
attracted that I bought 4 scarves for my loved ones.
Verdict
Galilee
Silks is a complete Judaica Store as is the best among the market. I now
believe that online markets are better than retrial store on the streets in
most of the cases. In fact the prices are much reasonable!
