Advah Designs Tallitot

Advah Designs was started by Sarah Resnick. Her business started when she wove her first tallit for her brother Caleb's bar mitzvah 7 years ago. From the beginning Advah Designs has been dedicated to creating beautiful Jewish ritual textiles, made ethically and sustainably.
The focus of the textile design is that it celebrates ritual and connection. Sarah believes that taking the time to make moments in life just a little more beautiful has an uplifting and rippling effect in our lives and on our communities.

These Jewish ritual items are great for so many occasions: daily prayer, b’nai mtizvahs, weddings, conversion, babynamings, and more!

Anna Abramzon Ketubah

Ketubah artist Anna Abramzon’s story: I was fresh out of art school when I moved to beautiful, mysterious Jerusalem, Israel in search of adventure and inspiration --- and quickly met someone who would inspire me for the rest of my life: Patricio. We got engaged 6 days after I arrived! When we started planning our Big Fat Jewish Wedding, I was a bit overwhelmed. The more we dove into the customs and rituals, the more there was to learn.

 It was our first lesson in building our modern Jewish family: a Jewish wedding was something that we would have to shape, mold and make our own. I count my blessings every day that I am fortunate enough to work with couples and young families at such incredibly important moments in their lives. Patricio and I now live in Los Angeles with our two daughters, and I ship my art worldwide with free shipping for Rabbi Elyssa’s clients on my website Mazel tov! 

Pasuk Art

Sonia Gordon-Walinsky creates personalized Torah artwork that visually links a person's Hebrew or Yiddish name to a verse from Torah. This idea is based on the Kabbalistic tradition of finding and keeping in one's consciousness a verse from Scripture that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with the last letter of one's name, or otherwise connects to the letter of one's name. This artwork is a very special gift for many occasions: birth, upon being named; b'nai mitzvah (adult b'nai mitzvah), conversion, marriage, anniversary or renewal of vows, career change, graduation, retirement or to honor a departed loved one.

Sonia also collaborates with her mother Nina Gordon to make Blessing and Mindfulness Bowls inspired by ancient incantation bowls from Iraq and Iran. These vessels for prayers and blessings- for healing, mindfulness around eating, love, gratitude and appreciation for the cycle of life. One way to use these bowls is to draw upon the Jewish custom of ritual hand washing before praying, eating bread and upon returning home from a cemetery, and pour water over one's hands (or go around in a circle and pour water over the next person's hands) in a ritual for healing, marking the end of a formal mourning period, grieving a miscarriage or abortion, bringing friends together in a Rosh Hodesh/New Month group, making the commitment to enter marriage or becoming a grandparent.

Sonia also creates blessings for the home, new baby, marriage/engagement/anniversary, as well as healing and illness using words from Jewish tradition to guide these lifecycle and everyday ritual moments.
