The tallit bag is one of the most useful religious items. Its purpose is to carry and protect the tallit and also the tefilim.
It has become customary for many mothers to make customized tallit bags.
Moms and also brides-to-be have their own intricate and colorful designs painted onto the needlepoint canvas by a professional artist. Using a variety of stitches and colorful threads and beads, each tallit bag becomes completely unique often with the recipients initials or name. Doing this can be quite time consuming.
After completion of the needlepoint, a coordinating fabric is usually chosen for the back and is sent to a professional for sewing, blocking and a zipper for the final finishing.
Of course you don’t have to make a tallit bag, you can buy one that is ready made at a religious store where there are many to choose from, and even ready made ones can be customized.
