Intro

Carry your tefillin in a bag that honors the twelve tribes of Israel, each rendered in its own embroidered panel across rich blue silk. Every tribe appears with its traditional symbol and Hebrew name, from the crown of Judah to the scales of Dan. Together the twelve panels recall the unity and distinct character of the tribes that formed the nation of Israel. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has furnished Jewish homes and ritual life for over two decades.

Build and Use

Made of silk and embroidered with the symbols of the 12 Tribes, the bag measures 10 by 8 inches. Each of the twelve panels is finished with fine thread work and bordered in red, with the tribe's Hebrew name stitched beneath its symbol. The bag closes securely to hold a pair of tefillin and keep them protected between uses.

Gift Ideas

Rich in symbolism, this tefillin bag makes a fitting bar mitzvah gift, marking the milestone with an object tied to daily practice. It also suits a gift for a groom before his wedding, or for anyone building out their Jewish ritual items. The 12 Tribes design gives it lasting meaning well beyond the occasion it's given for.

Care Instructions

Keep the silk bag away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve its color. Spot clean gently with a dry or barely damp cloth, and avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
