Artist Yair Emanuel, a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, lives and works in Jerusalem. Emanuel's style of Judaic art is based upon a fusion of traditional motifs and ancient Jewish manuscripts with modern and oriental art. Vivid and harmonious colors as well as a mixture of the Old and the New characterize Emanuel's work, which is designed and crafted in his Jerusalem studio.
This gorgeous tallit by Yair Emanuel features a motif of Miriam singing with a drum at the Red Sea and Debora the prophet under the date palm. On the atara (yoke) it says "Vatikach Miriam HaNeviya Et HaTof BeYada" (And Miriam the prophetess took the drum in her hand) in Hebrew. How wonderful to sing and pray with Miriam and Debora! The tallit is made from woven cotton. The motifs are hand-painted appliques on 100% pure silk which are then sewn onto the fabric. Included with the tallit are matching bag and kippa.
