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.

For all of my Jewish friends and readers that are celebrating Passover, a photograph of the Eternal Light in the Hess Chapel 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.
