In Judaism,
the Tallit (Hebrew language) (also
tallis) is a prayer shawl that has fringes (tzitzit) at the four
corners. Prayer-shawl is worn over one's clothes, and is traditionally worn
by men after marriage and, in modern times, by boys after they become
Bar mitzvah at 13. Since the 1970s, in non-orthodox denominations of
Judaism it may be worn by women.

 Artist
Yair Emanuel, a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design,
lives and works in Jerusalem. Born in Kibbutz Sha'alavim, he grew up in
Jerusalem in an Orthodox home and later in life adopted a more
pluralistic approach to Judaism. This background influenced Emanuel's
style of Judaic art. Vivid and harmonious colors as well as a mixture of
the old and the new characterize Emanuel's work, which is designed and
crafted in his Jerusalem studio.
The principal techniques utilized encompass painting on silk,
hand-embroidery, raw-silk applique' and painting on wood.
 Among the staff in his studio are new immigrants and mentally
handicapped employees. A portion of the studio's profit is donated to
charity.
You are cordially invited to visit Emanuel's studio in Jerusalem and
observe how these works of art are hand-crafted and produced.
