Our sterling silver Tallis clips hold the Tallis in place as it wraps around the shoulders. They make a lovely Bar or Bat Mitzvah gift, staying with the child well into adulthood. Clips can also be ordered as sweater clips with pin backs.

Carved in wax, then cast in sterling silver, the clips are graced with a cultured) pearl embedded in the Sterling silver coral branch.

In Jewish lore, fish are considered immune to the evil eye. Well known as a symbol of fertility, many recite this blessing before partaking of a fish meal: “May it be your will, our God and God of our fathers, that we increase and multiply.”

But my favorite pronouncement to the fish before we eat it is: “May we be as a head, not as a tail.”
