Bat Mitzvah Tallit - Tallit for Women and Girls

A tallit, also called a tallis, is a Jewish prayer shawl which is first worn on a bat mitzvah or bar mitzvah when a Jewish young adult is called to read from the Torah. The tallit, often given as a gift from a family member, will be kept throughout adulthood, so it is important to choose a tallit that will be cherished now and in the future.

There are many options to choose from when considering your first bat mitzvah tallit. Every Jewish prayer shawl in our shop is suitable for people of all ages and all genders. But because we are often asked, here are some information about how to find a bat mitzvah tallit, and some of our bestselling bat mitzvah tallit below.

Bat Mitzvah Tallit Styles

First, a bat mitzvah student will want to select which style tallit they would like to wear. A shawl style silk tallit is worn hanging over your shoulders. A tallit gadol is worn in the traditional style with the fabric draped up above your shoulders. In either style tallit, kosher tzitzit strings are tied to each of the four corners of the tallit. Both tallit styles are worn by people of all genders and all sizes.
