Could you elaborate on this? > From: Sara Sutherland To: Hebrew Heritage Roots<heb_roots_chr@mail.geocities.com> Subject: Prayer shawl The Prayer shawl is a man's garment. No you can not wear a man's garment. There are no prohibitions in Torah for women wearing Tzit-tzit. It isn't commanded, but it is permitted. You can make a prayer shawl, that is feminine, or make a garment with four corners (51%) open to, and put Tzit-tzit on it. Beged-Ivri has information on tying Tzit-tzit yhe threads as well as the sale of them. http://www.israelvisit.co.il/beged-ivri/index.html Shalom, Sara ************************************************************** From: David Weiner To: heb_roots_chr@mail.geocities.com Subject: Re: Prayer Shawl Shalom, Yes it is true.............in the Orthodox world, only men wear the Prayer Shawl, however, as a Messianic Jew, during the Sabbath Service, I share my Prayer Shawl with my wife. In Biblical times, and even now, Jews cover their heads, shoulders and most of the upper body with their Prayer Shawls. Once under it, they are in their own private sanctuary. No matter what is going on, or where they might be, they are with God, under the Tzallit. Boruch Hashem, David Ben Reuben *********************************************************** From: Steven Berkowitz To: heb_roots_chr@mail.geocities.com Subject: Re: Prayer Shawl Jason question seems timely in this great move to Teshuvah, getting abck and getting closer to Hashem. I have been taught that it is "traditional" that (only) men wear Tallit, but there is no prohibition in the Law against women wearing same. True? However, my personal opinion is that if we allow tradition to stop us from praising or praying, God is not pleased with our heart condition. That if you/we feel God telling us to wear Tallit, in obedience, that's what we are to do. At the Messianic Synagogue I attend, the younger women do wear the Tallit. Not many, not often, not the older ones.

His mother, Miryam B'rit-Hargis, has a talit ministry called "Atara Melech" and can be reached at the e-mail address of: miryam@aol.com . I bought a hand-made talit from her and the book from Dr. Hargis at a Messianic Israelite conference in 1994, hosted by Angus and Batya Wooten of "House of David" ministry (http://www.mim.net). --Sammye Rice ****************************************************************** > >From: Dale Grimm >To: heb_roots_chr@geocities.com >Subject: Prayer Shawl? > >I am looking at purchasing a prayer shawl, does anyone have some >sources that I could purchase one from? > >Shalom, > >Dale Grimm > From: Zvi Zachor To: <heb_roots_chr@geocities.com> Subject: Re: Prayer Shawl Shalom !
