Testimonials

A youngJewish Vancouver girl enjoys her white, gold and red custom tallit.

“Besides making extremely beautiful, creative, artistic talesim,  I believe that the process of having the bar or bat mitzvah involved in every facet of its creation is an invaluable experience. As I watched my grandson make choices about the fabric, the color(s) and fabric of the stripes, and the selection of the crown, I was delighted. Each selection brought him closer to a sense of ownership of his talit. Bette Thompson is very sensitive and encouraging to this process... I truly believe (she does) very holy work.”

“My daughter and I and met with Bette to discuss her making a Tallit for Erin’s Bat Mitzvah, incorporating cloth woven by Erins’ great-grandmother.  She not only brought our idea to fruition but made beautiful piece of art that our family will, hopefully, cherish for many generations to come.”

“Bette made a treasure of a tallit for my grandson's Bar Mitzvah.  He had a very specific design in mind about creation that she implemented to perfection.”
