Every Advah tallit begins as a watercolor painting in my Boston studio. Here you'll find my full range: light silk and chiffon shawls for a first bat mitzvah tallit, and handwoven silk-and-cotton tallitot for years of Shabbat mornings.
For a long time, a woman who wanted a tallit had two choices: borrow a white-and-blue one from the synagogue rack, or pick from a few pastel "women's" designs. Today many women wear a tallit from their bat mitzvah onward and want one that feels like their own. I design for that, with landscapes, trees, watercolor stripes and bold color rather than one "feminine" look.
Style: shawl or tallit gadol. A shawl-style tallit rests on your shoulders with the four corners hanging in front. It is light and easy to move in. A tallit gadol is larger and drapes over the shoulders and down the back in the traditional way. My handwoven Arava and Miriam also come in tallit gadol size.
Fabric.
Size. One shawl size fits teens and adults alike. It is long enough that a bat mitzvah student won't outgrow it, and it sits comfortably on petite and tall wearers.
Each tallit comes with certified kosher wool tzitzit from Israel, or you can choose to tie your own tzitzit. Every tallit also comes with a matching handmade bag.
New to wearing a tallit? I especially love helping first-time wearers. Get in touch with any question, browse my bat mitzvah tallitot, or read my guide to tying tzitzit.
