A bar mitzvah tallit is often a gift from parents or grandparents, worn for the first time when they are called to the Torah. It should look like them, and it should still fit and feel right years from now. These are my most popular tallitot for bar mitzvah students, from handwoven stripes in deep blues and earth tones to watercolor landscapes.
Style: shawl or tallit gadol. Most bar mitzvah students wear a shawl-style tallit, which rests on the shoulders with the corners hanging in front. Some families and communities prefer a tallit gadol, the larger traditional size that drapes over the shoulders and down the back. My handwoven Arava and Miriam come in tallit gadol size.
Color and design. Many students choose the handwoven stripes of Tzedek (royal blue and silver), Arava (desert browns and beige) or Meadow (rich greens). Others like the black and silver of my Sofer silk tallit, or a watercolor landscape such as Blue Mountain or Red Sea.
Fabric.
Size. I make one shawl size for teens and adults, which most people find fits comfortably for teens and adults.
Each tallit comes with certified kosher wool tzitzit from Israel and a matching handmade bag. Some families like to tie the tzitzit together before the bar mitzvah. If you'd like to, write to me before ordering, then follow my step-by-step guide to tying tzitzit.
