To some people the tallit is merely a cultural garment that signifies a person’s Jewish identity. To others it is a vestige of the old covenant God formed with ancient Israel. But the Jewish prayer shawl is much more than a cultural icon, and it is hardly a historical relic. It is rich with symbolism and hidden meaning that, when understood, can deepen your prayer life and intimacy with God.
In The Tallit Charlie Kluge explains the history, modern meaning, and application of the prayer shawl, showing how it symbolically represents God’s presence and His Word. With the wisdom and spiritual insight provided in this book, you will come to understand the meaning of the prayer shawl and the rich fellowship that comes from seeking God under the tallit.
