Why the Tallit? Jeff and Barri explain the Jewish prayer shawl

Drs. Jeffrey Seif and Barri Cae Seif tells us about the fringed prayer shawl, Tallit or Tallis, along with the two different kinds and the reasons why they are used by religious Jewish men.

This outreach, Shalom Israel, is part of the work of Sar Shalom Israel, a 501(c)(3) IRS-approved nonprofit ministry. Besides creating videos like this one, we take frequent charity trips to Israel where we share the love of God with both Arab and Jewish communities by meeting practical needs and building bridges of care and compassion. Whether you can join us on the ground or prefer to connect virtually, we welcome you to be part of our mission.
