Mishpatim Tallit
In Parashat "Mishpatim", the Hebrew word for "laws", the congregation of Israel continues to hear the oral law spoken by God on Mount Sinai including the rights of bondsmen, laws concerning personal injury, murder, and property offenses. Also mentioned are the offering of the first fruits of the harvest and of young ox and sheep.
Band I
Moses ascends Mount Sinai with Aaron, Nabad, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel who watch from afar.
Translation of Hebrew (Exodus 24, 9):
"Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel."
Band II
Women are bringing their offerings of the first fruits of the harvest, while men are bringing young sheep as offerings to be sacrificed to God.
The neckband of the tallit is decorated with the traditional blessing, hand painted with gold-outlined, crowned, Hebrew lettering.
The tallit is shown on a background of cream wool blend. The tallit tzitziot (threads) are handspun.
A matching tallit bag, tefillin bag and yarmulke are also available. The tallit bag is made of cream wool blend and has a strip of painted silk running horizontally.
The tallit and all items are handmade.
