I asked the pastor of my church yesterday if the “tallit” was biblical, and he replied that it was. I’ve never owned or put on a tallit, but have always admired them. They look cool. So it is unusual that I would wait a few decades before even looking the name up, which I did five minutes before I started this writing. You will be surprised to learn that the tallit is just a Rabbinical fabrication. Not biblical at all. Not spoken once in the Holy Bible.
So I will pass on the made-up tradition.
How people can go out of their way to emulate the sick minds who crucified the Savior of Yahuah’s fallen masterpiece is a mystery. How they can read the Babylonian Talmud, which specifically promotes sex with children, or the Kabbalah, which is even worse, farther from God than the Talmud and essentially a book of witchcraft, troubles me greatly.
Please, let me rant a moment. People revere Rabbis as if they are extensions of Yahuah Himself. Nothing could be farther from the Truth. The Rabbis (with a few exceptions) are vehemently anti-Christ. Being children of ha shatan, they hate Truth and cannot be filled with the spirit of Yahuah. They walk in darkness and know not the Truth. They do not walk in the Way.
It is they who need wise council from you.
Kabbalah came from Babylon, and it is the religion of the sons of serpent, and the vehicle for delivering the satanism today. Satan’s control of the dark side seems to have been done mainly through Kabbalah, and it is going on even more actively now. Satan sows many seeds. This shrewd serpent of old has so many “shops” and “flavors” for all of the man’s needs and preferences, or they come in variety of “packages,” sort to speak, which makes it difficult to identify what it really is…
And, the Satanism is like the sugar in candy, and Kabbalah is a flavor of that candy, a specially concocted flavor. Our focus, Judaism, is the main distributor and vehicle of it, and Freemasonry is another. Then, Messianic Judaism is the newly designed attractive package just for you, Christians.

You may download the entire writing quoted above below if you wish. It might come in handy if you have a friend who thinks Talmud and Kabbalah are “just fine”, or claims to read them to “study”. It is the satan worming his way into their souls. Its a fascinating read. Print a copy and give it away.

Noahide Law, a popular Jewish fabrication, states in its charter that people must renounce “Jesus” or be executed; that non-Jews cannot study Torah. It is the Rabbis who created the name “Hashem” for Yahuah. They did that to hide His name, to make His name into nothing, an direct and blasphemous violation of the command that we not make Yahuah’s name “into nothing”. (Paleo Hebrew, original tablets.)
*It also violates the paleo-Hebrew original 3rd commandment not to take Yahuah’s name in vain. The better interpretation of the paleo-Hebrew original is the command that we “not make His name into nothing“, which is broader in scope and means to either make His name into a common verb to use, in example, as in when one stubs one’s toe, or to mistranslate His name to the point where the name becomes meaningless. “Jesus” is a meaningless name, and a made up one at that. “Yahusha” has great meaning. (*comment by Jerry Davis)
So my dear brothers and sisters, if you fail to remove this poison from your homes, and if you fail to repent of this grave transgression – this looking onto evil to study it, your lives will be ruined and your good name darkened.
1 Kings 11:1-5
(1) But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women
of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites– (2) from the nations of whom
the LORD had said to the children of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with
you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. (3)
And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives
turned away his heart. (4) For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart
after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father
David. (5) For Solomon went after Ashtoreth* the goddess of the Sidonians, and
after Milcom** the abomination of the AmmonitesWhat is the Kabbalah_ (And Why Is It So Bad_) – Christian Observer __ Reader View
Do not tempt your heart to follow in the path of darkness, as Solomon did. Banish it from your lives.
I recall Miguel R giving a good sermon on a Shabbat on the benefit of some traditions. I don’t recall if he spoke about the talit.
Galatians 5:5 – But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the hope of righteousness. 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love. 7You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth? 8Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you. 9A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough. 10I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be. If we adopt traditions from those who are hostile to Messiah, we become precisely like Solomon, who ended his days serving demons because he allowed, bit by bit, traditions of his foreign wives into the lives of Israel, building temples to their demon gods all over Israel, resulting directly and explicitly in the sacking of Jerusalem by the Babylonians after Solomons death. The delay was due to Yahuah’s good relationship with Daud (Solomons’ father), and came right after Solomon’s… Read more »
All I can think of right now in response to your concern is the repetitive reading of the entire book of James is necessary (for me), as this is what I have been doing very recently in combination to much prayer, repenting and seeking Yeshua in this time of testings and trials, of which only more and more and more are going to occur as time goes on. Yahuah is judging, and I feel ha shatan’s attacks minute by minute. The warfare has begun.
Jerry, you bring up a very interesting point about the talit. We have one and utilize it at the end of service each Shabbat. I will be looking into this point more deeply. Thank you for addressing it. Blessings to you, brother.
I do not think the tallit is a sin, but I do think adopting traditions from a culture that hates Truth is unwise. One thing leads to another, and I have seen a book on the Kaballah in the hands of a person in our congregation in the sanctuary on the Shabbat. So I say that there is a problem. That the spirit of rebellion has crept into the assembly, led by traditions foreign and hostile to the Truth, some which are wholly inspired by ha shatan. The evidence, as you can see, is obvious.
Yes, I too don’t think the tallit is a sin. I see no evidence of sin in placing a covering over one’s head that symbolically represents Yahuah’s covering/protection over them. However, I too have not seen the word “tallit” written in Scripture. I’m going to continue to use our tallit until I see a reason not too. More investigation is required.
We must guard against foreign traditions which lead us astray. Tallit is symbolic, but a total fabrication of man. Tzitzit is of Yahuah. He specified it. See the difference? Not that tallit is wicked, but if you look into Talmud and Kaballah, you will see that the conclusions of the Rabbis is sick with fornication and pedophilia and and more. The tradition of tallit came from these same anti-Christs, praying to Yahuah and killing His son. They created the tallit because they got hung up on the tzitzit and the “corners of your garment” clause. They wore simple square-cut shirts in those days and that was the standard “garment”. So when clothing evolved and lost the corners, the Rabbis, being inclined to add to the Words constantly, decided a square or rectangular cloth was necessary for the tassels. Then they decided that the tassels had to be constructed specific ways, etc and so on forever. None of that is holy. All of it is Rabbinical prattle. 37 Adonai spoke to Moses saying, 38 “Speak to… Read more »
You make very good points Jerry! I will continue my investigation into your concern on the tallit. Thank you for putting all of this material together for our review, consumption and consideration. Much appreciated Jerry as you are operating in both salt and light as discussed in Matthew 5:13-15. I wonder if there is any evidence that Yeshua used a tallit. I know he wore tzitzits in some form or fashion based on Biblical text.
I conducted a little bit of research on the subject of the tallit. You are correct. The tallit is never mentioned in our western canonical Bible. I am curious if it is mentioned elsewhere in the other apocrypha books not currently present in our Bible? I don’t want to be unwise, and I don’t want to “just” follow man’s traditions certainly of those who hate truth. Another question in my mind is, does the tallit represent any elements of being “anti-christ” or a “marking” of the beast system or a symbol of old mystic/gnostic belief systems? Also, another question in my mind is, what am I communicating to viewers when I place it over the heads of my family at Shabbat service? Is it used to replace Yahuah’s covering over us? Just a lot of questions to consider for its use. On a side note, it seems to me like there is much disagreement of the use of the tallit among members within the Messianic communities – which is an additional concern – when we… Read more »
Yes, ha shatan is on the move. There is no sin in the tallit. I can see the original motivation for it, but personally I think we need to be wary of adopting Jewish traditions, because they crucified Yahusha, and every time a “Christian” adopts a Jewish tradition, it in a small way validates their enmity with Yahusha. On the other hand David, we will never iron the wrinkles out of our faith. Its always going to be imperfect, but Yahuah knows the motivation of the heart. If you want to wear a tallit, wear one. I think they are cool, and I can totally relate to wrapping one around me in my prayers and being spiritually in the hand of our Good Father. Maybe a Navajo wool blanket 🙂 People think that because the Jews do a thing that they themselves will be more holy if they do it, too. Religious peer pressure is everywhere. But the Tzitzit – that is the real deal. The testimony of the dead Jew boy named Nathan even… Read more »
Blessings to you brother! Keep looking to Yahuah through it all! I will miss you also.
Thank you Jerry, the article about the Kabbalah that was linked gave me great insight. i still have many questions, but I feel my suspicions have been correct. I hope you post more on this subject in the future.
