Simu Lev El Haneshamah Tallit

This tallit's design is based on the 16th-century North African piyut (liturgical poem) ��Odeh LaEl / Simu Lev El Haneshamah.�� The poet, R. Shma��ya Kosson, reminds us that every morning offers a new chance to examine our souls and rediscover the jewels within, that might have become hidden during the long night. Perhaps, like people made in God��s image, those opals and amethysts are also rough and unfinished on the edges, clinging to one another while reflecting the light that illuminates their search.

An excerpt of the poem��s text flows down both sides of the tallit:
Pay heed, pay heed to your own soul:
Opal, amethyst and gold,
As bright as is the sun��s warm glow,
Far brighter than the morning!
I thank God who probes all hearts
When stars sing in the morning.
