Tazria-Metzora Tallit
Parasha Tazria and Parasha Metzora are read together on regular years and read separately on leap year.
Both have been designed here as one tallit. A tallit can be re-designed for either parasha separately.
Parasha Tazria-Metzora deals with childbirth and the laws of purification.
Parasha Metzora deals with purification of persons and their homes from diseases of the skin.
Band I Tazria-Metzora
A mother with new-born brings a lamb and a turtle-dove as offerings to the high priest.
Translation of Hebrew (Leviticus chapter 12, verse 6):
"And when the days of her purification are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove…"
Band II Metzora
A cured leper, with a newly shaven head, brings lambs to the high priest for sacrifice.
Translation of Hebrew (Leviticus chapter 13, verse 10):
"…he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil…"
The background material of this tallit is a beautiful cream wool blend. The neckband features the traditional blessing in crowned Hebrew lettering outlined in gold.
A matching tallit bag, teffilin bag and kippah are also available. The tallit bag is made of cream wool blend and has a strip of painted silk running horizontally.
The tallit tzitziot (threads) are handspun.
The tallit and all items are handmade.
