Description
This tallit design features organ pipes decorated in the Moorish style from the sanctuary of B’nai Jeshurun on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Along the sides is the text of Psalm 150, reminding us that music is one of the all-time best ways to express joy and gratitude.
The text on the tallit reads in Hebrew: Hallelujah. Praise the Eternal in His holy place, praise Him in the vault of His power. Praise Him for his mighty acts, praise Him as befits his abounding greatness. Praise Him with the ram s horn blast, praise Him with the lute and the lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dance, praise Him with strings and flute. Praise Him with sounding cymbals, praise Him with crashing cymbals. Let all that has breath praise Yah. Hallelujah!

Goren Judaica is the work of Harriet R. Goren, a New York graphic designer who turns Hebrew liturgy into tallitot. She was an undergraduate painting major at Yale, where she also sang in choirs, and spent her career in identity, print and web design before starting Goren Judaica in 2011.
The spark came from synagogue. Reconnecting with Jewish life through a lively congregation, she trained to chant Torah and began experimenting with Hebrew letterforms and color. She combines hand-drawn lettering with digital paint, has the artwork printed on fabric, then sews the shawls and ties the tzitzit herself. The words aren't always meant to be read literally; she tries to capture through shape and gesture how she experiences the texts. Several of her designs grew from the stained-glass windows, tiles and organ pipes of B'nai Jeshurun in Manhattan.
Wearing a tallit, she says, "feels like being wrapped in comfort and safety, and helps me pray more honestly." Her work has appeared in the Women of Reform Judaism calendar and in American Guild of Judaic Art exhibitions. She also makes art prints and challah covers.
