It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.

It can also be pulled up over the head, like the great kilt:

This is what it looks like spread out (it’s being used a wedding canopy in this photo):

There is another version called the tallit katan (small tallit) which is for everyday wear, under clothes, and it’s got a hole for the wearer’s head:

The man on the left is wearing it over his shirt but under his vest, and the man on the right is wearing it under his shirt:

Here’s what it looks like spread out:

They can have different colors and patterns. Here’s a contemporary big tallit with a tree design, and a historical tallit katan from Italy:

but a part of my heart hurts so deeply by the end of it all too. i think about my own family, displaced from their homes for fear of violence against them. i think about how many of us have families who have gone through that exact scenario. i think of all of us, shuffling outside in the snow, hoping to catch a boat to safety. i think of how many were turned away.

i think about how, maybe soon, i might be in that same scenario. how many of our people are facing that same fate right now. and how many are not lucky enough to simply be displaced. how infuriating it is, that everyone else can navigate life without considering these things, because they know or believe they know that they won't be forced out of their homes. i think of whether or not i can save my judaica, or my cat, without putting myself in danger.
