The mitzvah of tzitzit is stated in Parashat Shelach: “Make tassels on the corners of your garments throughout your generations,” and the mitzvah of tefillin is stated in the Shema: “Bind them as a sign on your hand, and let them be frontlets between your eyes.” It is customary to keep the tallit and tefillin in a beautiful, dignified bag, as part of enhancing the mitzvah, in the spirit of the verse, “This is my God, and I will glorify Him.” An embroidered, well-designed bag is a traditional and beloved gift for a bar mitzvah, for a groom on his wedding day, or for any worshipper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eAbout the Gates of Jerusalem\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eJerusalem’s Old City has eight gates in the wall built by Sultan Suleiman in the 16th century, including Jaffa Gate, Damascus Gate, and Zion Gate. The arched gate, with the densely built city behind it, is one of the most familiar images of Jerusalem in Jewish art. On this bag, the word “Tallit” is embroidered inside the arch, as if the tallit itself is passing through the gate into the city. Jerusalem has been the heart of the Jewish people and the focus of their prayers for thousands of years. The landscapes of the Old City, its walls, and its gates have appeared in Jewish art throughout the generations as an expression of longing and an eternal connection to the city, in the spirit of the verse, “If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill.” Jews pray facing Jerusalem, making a view of the city especially fitting for a tallit or tefillin bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eAbout the Artist Yair Emanuel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eArtist Yair Emanuel lives and works in Jerusalem. His designs combine classical motifs inspired by ancient Jewish manuscripts with a modern, Oriental style, in vivid, harmonious colors. He works in a variety of techniques, including hand embroidery, painting on silk and wood, and metalwork, and his creations are sold in Judaica shops and museums around the world.
