Tallit Workshop Information – Don’t worry, you have lots of time!

For those of you that want to plan ahead, here is the information for the tallit making workshop. This workshop is the final Bar/Bat Mitzvah family program for the year and it is scheduled for Sunday, March 29^th.

Fabric requirements:

Oversized Tallit - Approx. 70" x 40"

Regular Tallit - Approx. 70" x 18"

The rectangular piece of fabric should be finished on all four sides. If you want to use a contrasting color for an 'atarah' (neckband) and to reinforce the corners, you will need approximately 1/3 yard more of material. You may also purchase ready-made atarot at the Judaica Store that have the tallit blessing on them. Girls: Please remember that some of the satiny fabrics are slippery and you may have trouble keeping it on your shoulders.

The neckband and corners can either be ironed on using "fusible web" or sewn on. Most importantly, there should be a finished hole or buttonhole in each of the four corners.

We will provide you with kosher "tsitsit". You will learn to tie the knots as part of the workshop.

This is always a great workshop and the finished tallitot are beautiful!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
