Leah Tallit

Leah flows with rivers of mossy green and cobalt blue. I named it for Leah, one of the four matriarchs, and it's a companion to my Rivkah tallit, named for her mother-in-law.

I print it with permanent dyes onto polyester chiffon, the lightest fabric I use, and each tallit is sewn in San Francisco. Chiffon shows a painting's colors vividly and feels airy on the shoulders, even through a long service.

Questions

Who was Leah?

Leah was Jacob's first wife and one of the four matriarchs of the Jewish people, along with Sarah, Rivkah and Rachel.

Is Leah a good bat mitzvah tallit?

Yes. Its greens and blues suit any age, and a matriarch's name is a meaningful choice for a bat mitzvah student.
