The Atarah is a decorative adornment sewn along the upper edge of a tallit.
More profoundly, it embodies the principle of Hiddur Mitzvah — the tradition of
enhancing a mitzvah through aesthetic beauty in order to deepen its meaning and
spiritual significance. At Malqeta, this value is central to our purpose.
Our Atarot are meticulously hand embroidered, drawing from the rich heritage of Jewish
artisanship and inspired by sacred motifs that grace Torah mantles, synagogue Parochot
(Ark curtains), and illuminated manuscripts from Jewish communities around the world.
Each Atarah is presented in a premium hard box, accompanied by a greeting card, in a
signature soft Malqeta bag.
Care
Your Atarah has been meticulously hand embroidered to honor and enhance your
tallit. Professionally machine stitch your Atarah onto your tallit.
Do not iron. Specialist dry cleaning only.
Provenance
To view the original historical Sefer Torah Tik (cylindrical encasement),
Parochet and Ketubah that inspired our Atarot, visit
The Israel Museum, Jerusalem.
In keeping with the Jewish tradition of Tzedakah, Malqeta donates 10% of its profits
to help provide a Tallit and Tefillin for boys celebrating their Bar Mitzvah
whose families we know are in need.
