Intro

Wrap yourself in Jerusalem with a tallit built around appliqued scenes of the old city, layered in warm golds, blues, and stone tones. Rooftops, courtyards, and hillside homes are pieced together across the fabric, calling to mind the connection and heritage the city carries for those who wear it. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has shaped Jewish ritual pieces for over two decades.

Build and Use

Worn for prayer, the tallit is woven from a blend of raw silk, cotton, and polyester, with the Jerusalem scenes built up through layered appliqued fabric. It measures 77 by 15.5 inches, sized for a full wrap across the shoulders. A matching atarah sits at the neckline, and the corners carry the tzitzit needed for wear.

Gift Ideas

A tallit like this suits a bar or bat mitzvah, a wedding, or an engagement, marking a milestone with a piece meant to last for years of use. It also makes a fitting gift for someone building their own Jewish home or beginning a new stage of religious life. The Jerusalem imagery gives it lasting meaning well beyond the occasion it's given for.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cold water or dry clean to protect the raw silk and appliqued fabric. Lay flat to dry and avoid wringing or ironing directly over the appliqued sections.
