GREAT JEWISH KIDZ' STUFF
TALLITmaaven creates
WIMPEL; The artist takes the flannelette, cotton or silk blanket which swaddled the baby while being delivered to the mohel. The blanket is cut into strips upon which are embroidered the important people around this precious child. Later, his usherim, sefer ceremony, Bar Mitzvah can be added. The wimpel will be used to wrap the Torah he uses for his Bar Mitzvah. Until then, it may decorate his bedroom, or be displayed with family treasures. In some traditions, the wimpel is wrapped around one of the poles of his chuppah. What a meaningful gift for a newborn baby.. Contact Marilyn to discuss the creation of a wimpel for a very special child.

CHUMASH and SIDDUR COVERS
IMPORTANT NOTICE: It takes about six weeks to design and create chumash/siddur covers. Most siddur ceremonies occur from Pesach to Shavuot. If your child/grandchild expects a Prayer Book Ceremony, it would be appreciated if you would contact us in November-February so that we can create a very special siddur cover for your special student.
Please contact us at least 3 months prior to your Chumash ceremony as well. We are ready and willing to create any design that your child requests, but we need gestation and construction time to create special bookcovers.
Contact us and we will design and create a siddur cover that your favourite Hebrew School Student will love and treasure for a long time to come. Your choice of colour, style, designs and Hebrew wording, bookmark. Remember that creativity takes a bit more gestation time so please do allow enough time for us to create something really special.
