Sterling Atarah for Tallis – Large Squares

An Atarah (also called an Atara) is the decorative neckband or “crown” attached to the top edge of a Tallit (prayer shawl). This .925 sterling silver Atarah serves both a practical and spiritual purpose: it helps identify the correct orientation of the Tallit so it is always worn the same way, and it beautifies the mitzvah of Tzitzit in accordance with the principle of “Ze Keli V’anveihu” (This is my God and I will glorify Him). Our hand-linked sterling silver design with large squares offers exceptional durability and a luxurious appearance.

Our Sterling Atarah for Tallis is available in 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 rows. Each row is approximately 2.5 cm wide, and the entire Atarah measures 40 inches in length. This generous size ensures a perfect fit on most Tallitot, providing a balanced and elegant look whether you choose a more subtle 3-row design or a bolder 7-row masterpiece.

Yes, this is a genuine .925 sterling silver masterpiece, expertly hand-linked with extra strong links for superior durability and longevity. Every piece is crafted to the highest standards, making it a premium Atarah that will serve as a beautiful and lasting enhancement to your Tallit for many years.

Traditional Atarot often feature the blessing recited when donning the Tallit (“Baruch Atah Hashem… L’hitatef B’tzitzit”). While this sterling silver Atarah focuses on its stunning large square design and craftsmanship, it can be paired with a Tallit that already includes the embroidered blessing or customized as needed. The primary role of this Atarah is to provide elegance and proper orientation for the Tallit.

Absolutely. This premium sterling silver Atarah makes an exceptional gift for a Bar Mitzvah, wedding, or any special occasion. Its luxurious design and high-quality construction reflect the importance of the mitzvah of Tzitzit and will be cherished for generations. Many customers choose it to upgrade an existing Tallit or to complete a new set.

The Atarah is typically sewn securely onto the top center edge of the Tallit by a qualified tailor or Tallit maker. We recommend professional attachment to ensure it sits perfectly and maintains the proper orientation of the Tallit. Once attached, the Atarah helps you consistently wear the Tallit with the correct side facing outward, enhancing both the mitzvah and its aesthetic beauty.
