An oasis for prayer

1995

COMMISSIONED BY RABBI ELYSE GOLDSTEIN • TORONTO ONTARIO

Rabbi Goldstein commissioned this special garment for her 40th birthday and especially for use on the Holy Days.

The actual prayer shawl is a narrower section attached to a larger garment.  Its theme is water – mayim chayim – shown in the waves of blue around the hem, the feel of luscious crepe de chine, and the sound of tiny hand-crafted brass bells.

Being on the bimah in public view, she is able flip the tallit over her head for personal prayer.
