While designing the Neshamah / Mayim tallit, I thought about other aspects of our natural world that can be compared to Torah. Water, like Torah, feeds and sustains life—as do trees, earth, sky. I live in a city, where it’s easy to forget this... but then I’ll go for a run in the park, and feel the strength and nourishment of rich green hills re-enter my soul. In place of traditional blue stripes that wrap and embrace, leaves and branches cascade down the sides of this tallit. The Hebrew words “Neshamah / Eretz” intertwine on the back.
Each tallit comes with a matching zippered tallit bag (see last photo), printed on both sides and machine-washable. (Please note that this bag is not hand-sewn, but rather manufactured from my design by a production partner.)
Material: Medium-weight cotton and satin trim. Size: 72" long x 24" wide, designed to be warn shawl-style. They're a comfortable size for men and women alike. Please see the F.A.Q. page for more information about how Goren Judaica tallitot are made, and options for customization.
