I did not intend to become a weaver of Tallitot. I came to this very wonderful career in an unusual way. When my family lived in Central Pennsylvania, several Sisterhoods at local synagogues owned looms on which they allowed members of the Jewish community to weave Tallitot. I used a loom such as this to weave a one-of-a-kind Tallit for each of my older children.

They chose the colors, I designed the pattern and we tied the Tzitzit together as a family. I had never done anything like this before and felt such satisfaction when I was finished.

With the Bar Mitzvah of my youngest child nearing, I searched for a loom to use in Atlanta. When my effort seemed fruitless, I saw an ad in the Atlanta Jewish Times which read "Loom for Sale." I purchased the loom, created a beautiful Tallit for my son and have decided to share this very unique and special experience with the Atlanta Jewish Community.

The Tallit is a cherished Judaica item which is used throughout one's lifetime. Whether it is woven for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah or as a 75th Birthday gift for an observant parent, this gift will forever be a reminder of one's commitment to weaving the fabric of a Jewish Life.
