Vayishlach Tallit
Jacob leaves the home of Laban with his family and property to meet Esau who he hasn't seen in twenty years.
Band I
Jacob wrestles with an angel in the night, prevails, and is given the name Israel.
Translation of Hebrew (Bereshit 32, 29):
"And he (the angel Jacob was wrestling with) said: 'Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.' "
Band II
Jacob and Esau meet.
Translation of Hebrew (Bereshit 33, 4):
"And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him and they wept."
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.
