Tallit
Az Aronsfreund család
Aronsfreund úr az egész testet befedő tallit (imasál) helyett már csak egy jelképes imasálat viselt, felesége pedig német nyelvű imakönyvből imádkozott. Az imakönyvet már Pesten vásárolhatták, hiszen a Király utca elején álló Orczy ház egyik zsidó könyvekre szakosodott kiadója (Löwy) jelentette meg.
The tallit gadol or large tallit is worn over the married men’s clothing during the synagogue service in the morning (sometimes in the afternoon and also in the evening at least for the leader of the service). It should cover most of the body, have four twined and knotted fringes known as tzitzit, which are attached to its four corners (Num. 15:38; Deut 22:12). A special decorated part, called the atarah or crown of the tallit gadol falls on the forehead. This prayer shawl is unusual in that sense, that it couldn’t cover the whole body, as it is much smaller and narrower. Basically just the decorated front part is kept, the atarah. The family kept the traditional rules and laws of the Jewish, but as we can see, the used equipments could be products of modern times.
