This beautifully woven tallit displays vibrant colors, as designed by Hakadosh Baruch Hu. The colors can correlate to the technicolor coat that Yaakov made for his favored son, Yoseph. In the Jewish religion, each individual color has a sacred meaning, and is a symbol dating back to the times of the Beis Hamikdash. Just to name a few examples, Tola’at Shani (scarlet red) symbolizes blood and life, Techeilet (blue) is a symbol with many meanings, one of which is the sky or heavens to remind us of Hashem. And Argaman (purple) is a symbol of royalty.
Tallit measurements: 17 in. by 72".
