How can clothes put us in the right
frame of mind?
Tefillin
Kippah
Tallit
Kippah – It is a sign of respect to cover the head so
they are showing respect to G-d. Also slaves used to
wear them so it is symbolic of showing that they
are servants of God.
Tallit – the tassels or fringes (tzitzit) remind Jews to
obey the 10 commandments and the 613 laws of
Judaism and how important it is to follow them.
Tefillin - 2 small black leather boxes which have
verses of the torah inside them. One is worn on the
forehead to show that Jews should be thinking
about God and one on the top of the left arm to
show that they love God (near the heart).
Activity
• You are going to design a new outfit/items of
clothing for someone to wear during prayer.
• Think about what is important to you if you
were praying – your outfit or items of clothing
should reflect this.
“It does not matter what
you wear when you
pray. What matters to
God is what you pray
for.”
