You are an amazingly beautiful woman - yes its true. But, please know that we Jews are commanded to wear the Tallit and not you xtians.

Nothing personal but could you ask them to kindly stop wearing this, It truly offends us...thanks.

@Yonah613

Sorry if it offends you. I don't think it should offend though (and that's my humble opinion). Through Jesus we all have ties with our Jewish roots. Thank you.

What in the world?? Now there is a prayer shawl ministry....where is this in the new testemant? Is this associated with the law??

[DimentionsofStacey]

Try not to read too deep into it Mrs Meka, it's mostly symbolism and a tie with our roots in the Hebrew traditions.  It's certainly not a heaven or hell issue, but it is a beautiful act of worship.

Very informative! You are bless and highly favored!!!

you did a good job with exlaining the meaning but it is a commandment for us Jews. anyone born to a Jewish mother or have valintarily entered into by a lagitimate Torah Authority are commanded to. I think your heart is in the right place but it is very offensive to see people doing it who are not commanded.

Thank you for putting up this video!!! i've been wanting a prayer shawl for sometime now, but was still a lil fuzzy on the significance. So before I purchase i wanted to gather as much info possible about the prayer shawl, and determine if i really want it. You helped clarify a lot especially with the broken down meaning of "Tallit". Will continue in reshearching, but i am a step closer to getting one of my own. Thanks and God bless :).

@Yonah613 - Read the Story of Rabbi Eliezer in your Midrash! who through miracles defended HIS faith even amidst the doubting Rabbis.... Even HEAVEN opened up - saying why are you fighting with Rabbi Eliezer? He is Right! and even Hashem Laughed when Elijah said that Hashem said "My sons have defeated me". meaning that according to Orthodox Judaism (more like Rabbinism) says that even though a rabbi might be wrong he is never to be questioned.

@Yonah613 With all due respect - Judaism is the belief in the Old Covenant - based on the ORAL LAW or TALMUD - OUR faith is the OLD AND the NEW - the Torah and the Brit Hadasha - WRITTEN SCRIPTURE ONLY - No Talmud or "oral law" - Please stop thinking Hashem is only speaking to you.

The Goyim as you call us - have NOT replaced you- but we are GRAFTED into the ONE Covenant Hashem gave the Original People - Through The Pesach Sacrificial Lamb of Adonai - and Now WE wihtout your permission - because we never needed it to begin with are coming to the knowledge of our Faith in Adonai through Yeshua Ha Machiach- and Keep the Noahide Law - through the Grace of Hashem by His Son.
