(Ternopil Regional Museum of Culture and Traditions)
Atarah (diadem) – a tab stitched to tallit gadol.
Atarah is an integral part of tallit gadol and is located on the one of its longitudinal sides serving as a
kind of a collar. This tab of rectangular form with
rounded edges was made in order to distinguish the upper and outer parts of the
tallit from the lower and inside part. The atarah is woven from silvery and light-brown threads into a geometrical ornament and trimmed
with a white fabric.
