In every religion, you will notice certain symbols, signs or types of clothing that are exclusively attached to their practices and customs. Jewish customs are no different. One of these customs includes wearing a tallit shawl during the different praying times in the synagogue, and also during special ceremonies.

Sercin being easily water soluble is composed of leucine and alanine. And fibroin is water insoluble and is made up of tyrosine, alanine and glycine.

Uses of Silk:

Greater part of silk strands produced is used in preparing silk garments. Whether clothes, talliot or scarves in which the silk fibers are blended are in huge demand not only in Israel but also in other countries worldwide.

The present time is dealing with a lot of hype going on about the Lion of Judah Tallit. In the modern era, where people have almost forgotten about and hold no connection with the roots of religious belief will love knowing more about its importance. Lions are often used to symbolize strength, dominance and authority. Judaism uses this symbol to represent one of its most crucial tribes, the Judah tribe, about which you will read more in this post.

Alike lion considered as the “King of Beasts,” the Judah tribe was destined to rule over the Jewish people including the longest queue of kings known. As per the tradition, each tribe holds its own flag and own gemstone in the High Priest's breastplate. The Judah’s flag is light blue in color adorned with a lion and the tribe's gemstone being light turquoise. The real challenge lied in capturing the embodiment of lion in blue, which is generally envisioned as hot and fiery and conveys the spiritual quality of the gemstone.

Symbolism of the Lion of Judah Tallit

‘Lion of Judah’ refers to Jesus Christ in Catholicism. But that’s not where the importance and connection of this emblem ends. The Lion of Judah is an age-old representation that represents Israelite’s Judah tribe everywhere in the old testament of Hebrew Bible. This symbol is additionally included on the emblem of Jerusalem, distinguishing the crude clan and prisoners of the Biblical Yehuda. Traditionally, the Lion in the silk Lion of Judah tallit represents the tribe, and this symbolism dates back to the clan's patriarch Jacob. He alluded his son Judah as ‘the Young Lion.’

The Judah Tribe

The well-known lion is the primary symbol of the Judah clan, but where did this connection originate from?  As per the Hebrew Bible, the twelve clans started with the twelve sons of Jacob, later called Israel. Judah was the fourth child of Jacob and his first wife, Leah. The Judah tribe became the most important as it was the tribe of the monarchy or rulership under one regal pioneer, when the old Israel kingdom was built around the 11th century B.C. Most of its rulers, including Solomon and David, were from this clan.

The United Kingdom split into southern Judah and northern Israel around the 10th century B.C. Only the clans of Judah and Benjamin inhabited the Judah kingdom, while others were in Israel, so its rulers were chiefly from the Judah tribe. Indeed, even the words ''Jew” and ''Judaism,'' used to depict the Israelites' religion, originated from its name.

If you would have ever watched series like Game of Thrones or Harry Potter, you must have known that lion often represents powerful houses. The same thing holds true for the Judah tribe. In the Book of Genesis, long before the Israelite government got built up, Jacob blessed Judah on his deathbed, saying he is a ''lion's whelp.'' It is because of this blessing the Judah clan adopted lion as the symbol to represent them.

The lion wearing a purple robe in the Lion of Judah tallit is soaked in the ''blood of grapes,'' with eyes ''darker than wine'' and teeth ''whiter than milk.'' The purple color represents royalty, so Jacob's use of the ‘Lion’ symbol further emphasized the idea that Judah's descendants will be rulers.

 The Lion through History

Through Judah tribe, the lion symbol symbolized the majesty, blessing and divine power for the Jews protection. It is not astonishing that the lion symbol still got used even after Jerusalem’s (the capital of Judah) destruction. A year after the modern state of Israel got established, the lion became part of the emblem for Jerusalem, remembering city's historical significance. With tallitot holding vital place in Jew’s life, the Lion also became a part of modern silk talliot that was believed to bestow a sense of spirituality when wrapped around during the morning synagogue.

The Jewish tradition is rich in ritual objects that assisted our ancestors for centuries in unlocking spiritual meaning. Such objects as the modern tallit men or kippah, in their beauty and tangibility, can actually change our mind state, reach past all the obstacles and objections we have to spirituality, and help us connect to the sense of spiritual means present all around the world. Many modern generation Jews today, however, did not know how to use or relate to those spiritual objects as they had not observed Judaism in a conventional way. Others, who had witnessed this since from their childhood days, are now in look out for some new meaning to these holy things.

The tallit, often called as Prayer Shawl, is perhaps the most recognizable and universal Jewish ritual object, with a rich history going back millennia. Despite its first reference pointing to a time that is debated about 3200 years ago, the Tallit was believed to have been in use since around 1800 BCE or 3800 years ago. The talliot of this differs from the one we think of and use today. The original talliot were large rectangular white garment with the tzitzit tied to the corners. Unlike modern ones, they were used as a burial shroud and a bedsheet.

The falling tassel, the simple colored stripes and the stark white fabric – the modern tallit men is an elegant and immediately recognizable image of Judaism and prayer. This iconic item is symbolically used in daily prayer, to cover the Ark in the morning assembly, and over the Jewish wedding canopy.  As per the Bible, the tallit has fringes attached to the four corners that remind the Jews of G-d’s commandments. Hence, the tallit is thus sometimes called as the “Arba Kanfot”, meaning ‘Four Corners’ and is draped over the shoulders like a cape, with two corners at the front and other two at the back.

  

But look around today and you will see that we are fiercely progressing to a post-modern religious revolution, opening up to a modern world yet respecting deep-rooted ancient beliefs.  The tallit serves as a powerful metaphor for the tenuous relationship between the old and new.

Designers are drawing upon current clothing and fashion trends in their quest to create a more modern take on the conventional tallit. So, now you can discover a wide-range of talliot with colorful and intricate embroidery, luxurious natural fibers like silk and wool and glorious metallic threads.

The tallit was evolved as an outer garment on which the fringes are worn as a respect of this command. The tallit originally, resembles the blanket or ‘abayah’, worn by the Bedouins to stay protected from rain and sun, having black stripes at the end. The fine made tallit was alike Roman pallium that was worn only by renowned rabbis, scholars and men. The talliot were sometimes worn with the ends hanging over the shoulders and many a times partly doubled. It was considered as an exceptional garment worn to serve the god by the Kabbalists.

Tallit – Who and When

Technically, a tallit should be worn all day long, but considering today’s trend, this won’t be that possible. So, another poncho-like garment was developed to be worn under the street clothing all day long. This garment popularly came to known as tzitzit, also known as tallit katan or arba kanfot. The tallit is worn during morning prayers and all day on Yom Kippur (the holiest day in Judaism). In many cases, chazzan (prayer leader) are also seen wearing tallit during many other services as well. Also, the Ashkenazic community boys of Eastern European are seen wearing tallit from as young as three years old. They start wearing tallit gadol (large tallit) regularly after their marriage. Western Europeans and Sephardic, however, began wearing it much earlier.

Earlier, tallit used to have two kind of threads attached to the corner, one of white wool and the other of blue wool. The blue wool, known as Tekhelet, is the hallmark of nobility that keeps on reminding Jews that he is a member of G-d’s “Kingdom of Priests”. This blue dye was made from a by-product of sea creature which lives in the Mediterranean Sea, known as Chilazon. And as during the Talmudic era, the centre of Jewish life shifted from the Mediterranean Sea, the Tekhelet was heavily taxed and even outlawed. Hence, it became rarer, and even eventually got disappeared completely from the tallit.
