or Tallis. No one can where one until they are women & men, fully grown. At 13 (Ok H. off you go.. get a job). After watching my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, holding my breath the whole time, making sure I have an internal map with the quickest way to the bathroom, just in case I throw up. If I don’t have time, I’ll just throw up in my purse. She was amazing, beautiful, sang in Hebrew like a Cantor (a shy one)
My father got up on the Bima, Friday night to present her with a Tallis, but gave her his own. I did know he was going to do that, My mom told me & said, “shhh” When Dad put the Tallis over my daughter’s shoulders was one of the most beautiful moments of my life.
I painted one like this one in Temple’s Prayer book…

You should be worried. These beasts are the ones I’m most afraid of. It waits, like a cat, bites like Jaws, then drowns you like a lobster in a pot. Maybe we taste like lobster!
