I can see her creating this Tallit with love for her friend. Thank you for sharing this, and please say hello to Felice for me.Rosemary@semo.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657214668631520134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-75240220584551702182012-09-03T20:09:53.265-04:002012-09-03T20:09:53.265-04:00I have made many tallit ( plural of Tallis) in my ...I have made many tallit ( plural of Tallis) in my time for each of the members of my family. Often a person's tallis is used as part of the ritual covering (chuppah) at weddings. And a person is usually wrapped in their tallis in death. The four corners also reference gathering Jews from the four corners of the world. I usually add a blue thread to my fringes.<br /><br />Another piece of arcane info- there is a prohibition against combining certain kinds of fabrics together. "Shaatnez is the biblical prohibition against wearing wool and linen together in the same garment. (Wearing one piece of clothing that is linen and another that is wool at the same time is permitted.) This prohibition against shaatnez is found in Deuteronomy 22:11 and Leviticus 19:19. A combination of any other materials does not create shaatnez. This explanation if from a chabad website that describes all the prohibitions. It is really pretty interesting.<br /><br />Mine are made all out of silk.

I can only imagine the comfort your friend must feel wrapped in her mom's cloths in such a special way.

I love things like this. <br /><br />Oh, and for your teflon spatula problem, try taking some silicone caulk and putting it into the offending hole using the caulk gun or even by using a skewer to stick it down in there. Silicone won't mildew, and it will be there for a long time!<br /><br />glen Glen QuiltSwissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663112676927847239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-86388755359603021372012-08-31T08:12:58.736-04:002012-08-31T08:12:58.736-04:00What a brilliant idea using the cuff's buttonh...What a brilliant idea using the cuff's buttonholes.
