Church Series - Prayer Shawls



A few months ago I had the good fortune to attend a Friday Shabbat Worship Service at Temple Emanu-El. These prayer shawls, tallits, have always drawn my eye outside of the synagogue.

Temple Emanu-el Celebrates!


They celebrate 100 years in our city and even more for opening their synagogue for four Christian churches who have worshipped there since 1915.  A true friendship of Christians and Jews in our community.

Prayer Shawl


Today at sundown marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of  Passover.  This beautiful tallit, or prayer shawl was photographed at Temple Emanu-El.

The Tallis



The Jewish festival of Passover begins tonight at sundown and will last eight days. I thought this would be a nice time to share this photo of the Jewish prayer shawls (tallis) that I photographed on my visit to Temple Emanu-El recently. My friend Lynne explained that the knotted fringe has special meaning. Click here to read more about the tallis.
