In July he is back in Manhattan to present yet another intriguing project: the revival of the dying Italian tradition of the silk tallit, the prayer shawl. An enterprise rooted in the wisdom of the past, the passion of the present and the innovation of the future.<\/p>\n<p>Alessandro Cassin: The tradition of the Italian tallitot involves not only a long tradition of craftsmanship, but also a cultural history, and mercantile exchange.<\/p>\n<p>Rav Piperno: Absolutely. Today it gives an added dimension to the many stories that concern the Silk Road, the fascinating network of trade routes. It was central to cultural interaction between different parts of the world comprising both a terrestrial and the maritime routes, connecting Asia with the Middle East and southern Europe.<br \/>\nThe effort to highlight and revive the Italian Jewish tradition of the silk tallit is spearheaded by two entrepreneurs, Dora and Sofia Piperno, with rabbinical guidance and assistance.<\/p>\n<p>AC: How and where did the project begin?<\/p>\n<p>RP: It began in the Veneto region in two phases. In phase one, the Chief Rabbi of Rome, Riccardo Di Segni went to Venice, historically one of the main cities in the west connected to China through the Silk Road. The idea was, to begin with, an in-depth analysis of the precious robes of the Venetian Doge which were made in silk and gold. One of the aims being creating silk tallitot decorated with actual gold thread. The challenge was to find a silk production facility, where 100% Italian silk could be spun under rabbinical supervision, starting from the silkworm\u2019s cocoon to arrive at the silk thread that will form the tzitziot. One such artisanal manufacturing plant was found in Nove, near Venice.<\/p>\n<p>With an eye to marketing the new silk tallitot, they came up with the catchphrase \u201cfilo-so-fare\u201d a wordplay which means both \u201cI know how to spin thread\u201d and \u201cto philosophize.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/filandaie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4055\" src=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/filandaie-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/filandaie-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/filandaie-600x420.jpg 600w, https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/filandaie.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>AC: What do kind of rabbinical supervision is needed?<\/p>\n<p>RP: The concern is for the <i>tzitziot<\/i>, the fringes at the four corners.

These fringes must be handcrafted by an observant Jew.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>AC: What do kind of rabbinical supervision is needed?<\/p>\n<p>RP: The concern is for the tz<i>itziot, <\/i>the fringes at the four corners. According to the Tor\u00e0, we must wear a shawl (<i>talled<\/i>) with fringes applied at the four corners. These fringes must be handcrafted by an observant Jew.<\/p>\n<p>So Rav Di Segni with<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Mr. Pino Arbib began the first phase which requires two days of work: the roughing (<i>sbozzatura<\/i>),<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>and the first washing of the thread. I was in charge of the second phase which took place in Oderzo, near Treviso and consisted in the matching of the silk threads (<i>abbinatura<\/i>), crossing them over, and subjecting it to a second washing, which requires three more days of work leading to the finished <i>tzitzit.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Just like in the production of kosher wine all these procedures<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>(even when they consist of a mechanical action) need to be initiated by an observant Jew. Every time that we push a button or make an action we must say: <i>leshem mitzvah tzitzit<\/i>, specifically to create a <i>tzitzit<\/i>. It must be <i>lishma<\/i>, that is, the intention has to be specific to that purpose.<\/p>\n<p>AC: How long have Italian Jews been producing silk for this purpose.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>RP: It\u2019s a long and exciting tradition, which took root in many different Italian regions. I found a <i>responsa<\/i> by a rabbi in Gorizia in the north east of Italy, in 1630 who was asked: \u201ccan we feed the silkworms during Shabbat?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>But there were Jews producing silk in the south as well. My research leads me to believe that there was silk production in Calabria before it arrived in Venice. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/talledseta.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4056\" src=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/talledseta.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"258\" height=\"196\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>AC: Silk was essential to the economy of southern Italy, among both Gentiles and Jews. The first city to introduce silk production to Italy was Catanzaro, in Calabria, during the 11th century.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>The silk of Catanzaro supplied much of Europe and was sold at a vital market fair in the port of Reggio Calabria to Spanish, Venetian, Genovese and Dutch merchants. The city was world-famous for its excellent fabrication of silks, velvets, damasks, and brocades. Other cities involved in silk production over the flowing centuries were Lucca, Florence, Genoa, and Venice, which all had Jewish communities&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>RP: In Soriano Calabro, which was perhaps one of the centers of Jewish life in Calabria and a textile hub as well, I was told that up to thirty years ago most housewives had looms in their homes and spun silk&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>AC: Soriano as a Jewish last name is found in Rhodes and much of the Mediterranean&#8230;<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Portrait-of-the-Venecian-doge-Francesco-Foscari-Museo-Civico-Correr-Venice-ca.-1457\u20131460-or-mid-to-late-1470s-Lazzaro-Bastiani-1430\u20131512.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4057\" src=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Portrait-of-the-Venecian-doge-Francesco-Foscari-Museo-Civico-Correr-Venice-ca.-1457\u20131460-or-mid-to-late-1470s-Lazzaro-Bastiani-1430\u20131512-255x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Portrait-of-the-Venecian-doge-Francesco-Foscari-Museo-Civico-Correr-Venice-ca.-1457\u20131460-or-mid-to-late-1470s-Lazzaro-Bastiani-1430\u20131512-255x300.jpg 255w, https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Portrait-of-the-Venecian-doge-Francesco-Foscari-Museo-Civico-Correr-Venice-ca.-1457\u20131460-or-mid-to-late-1470s-Lazzaro-Bastiani-1430\u20131512-768x904.jpg 768w, https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Portrait-of-the-Venecian-doge-Francesco-Foscari-Museo-Civico-Correr-Venice-ca.-1457\u20131460-or-mid-to-late-1470s-Lazzaro-Bastiani-1430\u20131512-870x1024.jpg 870w, https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Portrait-of-the-Venecian-doge-Francesco-Foscari-Museo-Civico-Correr-Venice-ca.-1457\u20131460-or-mid-to-late-1470s-Lazzaro-Bastiani-1430\u20131512-600x706.jpg 600w, https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Portrait-of-the-Venecian-doge-Francesco-Foscari-Museo-Civico-Correr-Venice-ca.-1457\u20131460-or-mid-to-late-1470s-Lazzaro-Bastiani-1430\u20131512-493x580.jpg 493w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>RP: Soriano plainly indicates a Sephardic origin, it means those who came from Soria, in Spain, so perhaps Soriano Calabro was a destination for Jews fleeing Spain.<\/p>\n<p>AC: Is silk production still alive in Calabria?<\/p>\n<p>RP: A young woman, Miriam Pugliese, has recently begun silk production as well as a small museum about this tradition, in San Floro, near Catanzaro. She is raising silkworms, and producing her silk spun and woven by hand!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>I have been raising some funds at my synagogue in Rome so that in October I will go to her and she will teach some students to spun and weave silk.<\/p>\n<p>AC: Tell me more about the Italian <i>tallitot<\/i> tradition, how long ago did they stop making silk ones and why?<\/p>\n<p>RP:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>The silk tallit \u2014we call it <i>talled<\/i>\u2014stopped being available about 60 years ago when silk production became rare. At that time lightweight synthetic <i>tallitot<\/i> became available at very reasonable prices as well as wool ones from Israel and from the Ashkenazi tradition. I believe that in a trend to imitate what they saw in Israel, many Italian adopted the woolen one. All of this is fine, perhaps normal, but I insist that there is something important that gets lost each time we abandon something that has been a part of our own specific tradition<\/p>\n<p>AC: Today does one still see many silk <i>tallitot<\/i> in Italian synagogues?<\/p>\n<p>RP: No, only a small number. In part because the silk ones are used only on special occasions like weddings, and no longer used every day.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>AC: What other materials are used for <i>tallitot<\/i> around the world?<\/p>\n<p>RP: Other than silk the most commonly used fibers are wool, linen, as I mentioned synthetic fiber or even cotton. I would be curious to know what the <i>tallitot <\/i>were like in Afghanistan and India. In Calabria, I discovered that in Ferramonti (a Fascist internment Camp) some Jewish internees who lacked almost everything managed to weave burlap and make<i> tallitot<\/i> for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>AC: You pointed me to a website, <b>www.talleddiseta.it<\/b> where one can find the new Italian silk <i>tallitot<\/i> we have been discussing.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>I notice that they offer them in the traditional light blue stripes as well as in green, red, and dark red. Where those colors part of the tradition?<\/p>\n<p>RP: Those are new colors, emphasizing the desire for novelty and innovation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>In Italy, as in much of the Sephardic world we traditionally used white silk with light blue stripes. In the Ashkenazy world, the <i>tallitot <\/i>were made of wool. They were white with black stripes. But the Sephardim in North Africa, for instance in Morocco, also used wool ones&#8230; And in Djerba, off the coast of Tunisia, they made them in a characteristic local coarse black wool.<\/p>\n<p>AC: Do you have an opinion on the very colorful ones?<\/p>\n<p>RP:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>The sages tell us that one <i>talled<\/i> should not stand out from the other ones in the congregation. A too garish color can distract from concentration during prayer. I think that in the privacy of one\u2019s home, one can wear any color, but in a public situation, it is best not to stand out too much.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>AC: Do you think that the light blue stripes derive from the traditional blue thread in the <i>tzitzit<\/i>?<\/p>\n<p>RP. It is probable. But that is a different and long tradition and <i>halachic <\/i>discussion. The <i>Tor\u00e0 <\/i>tells us in the <i>Shema<\/i> that you will make <i>tzitziot<\/i> at the four corners of your garments for all generations. One of four threads of the <i>tzizit <\/i>must be blue.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Maimonides talks about this blue thread as do the <i>geonim<\/i>, that is commentators who wrote after the Talmud up to the 12th Century. After that, there is no more discussion of the blue thread.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>AC: In Italy, when did they stop having the prescribed blue thread in the <i>tzitzit<\/i>?<\/p>\n<p>RP: I have not researched this but frankly I am not sure they ever had it. That custom was dropped early on, as the mollusk that produces the ink became hard to find. When you think about it is paradoxical that the die needed for a prayers shawl should come from a non-kosher sea creature.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>AC: In the Jewish ritual, there is much covering and uncovering with cloth, I am referring to the <i>mappot<\/i> for the <i>Sefer Torah<\/i>, for example. In which sense the <i>talled<\/i> is a form of covering?<\/p>\n<p>RP: The <i>talled<\/i> is a garment this it is also a form of covering. But there is a more far-reaching function, which is that of creating a family. In our tradition, the <i>talled <\/i>is given by the wife to the husband on the day of the wedding as a symbol of fidelity and unity.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>If you look at my hand, you will notice I do not wear a wedding band. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The man gives a ring to the woman, and the woman gives the man she is marrying a <i>talled<\/i>. It represents and sanctions of the union between husband and wife. In other traditions, things are a bit different.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>AC: How so?<\/p>\n<p>RP: In the Ashkenazi tradition, at the end of the wedding, husband and wife retreat in a secluded space for 8 minutes, with witnesses. And this seals their union. According to Sephardic thought, this is not necessary, because the union is already sealed the moment, at the end of the ceremony, when they jointly receive the blessing both under the <i>talled<\/i>. It is under the <i>talled<\/i> that the union comes into being. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>AC: Today one sees Hassidim and other ultra-orthodox men donning the <i>tziziot<\/i> of the <i>tallit katan<\/i> the undergarment, visibly outside their clothes&#8230; Does it point to a more ostentatious affirmation of religious identity, compared to a more intimate and private Sephardic tradition?<\/p>\n<p>RP: In Italy, we never wore the <i>tziziot<\/i> hanging outside our clothes. In truth, it is not prescribed by the <i>halakha<\/i>. The <i>halakha<\/i> simply tells us: <i>ureitem oto<\/i> (\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea\u05b6\u05a3\u05dd \u05d0\u05b9\u05ea\u0597\u05d5\u05b9)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>(You will see it) to remind us when to wear it, that is from dawn to sundown, but not at night. \u201cYou will see it\u201d does not refer to showing it to others but rather that it must be worn during the light hours of the day rather than at night.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In truth, the <i>tzizit<\/i> does not have any identifying or ostentatious function, but instead, I would say, a mnemonic one, like tying a knot in a handkerchief. The <i>tzitzit<\/i> is looked at during the <i>tefilah<\/i>, the prayer, and particularly the <i>Shema<\/i>. It has many knots to remind us the name of our blessed God.<\/p>\n<p>AC: In the Italian and Sephardic traditions, boys begin to wear the <i>talled<\/i> starting from the <i>bar mitzwa<\/i>, but in other traditions much later&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>RP: The Ashkenazis, start wearing them from the day of the wedding (before that the only wear a smaller undergarment, <i>talled katan<\/i>). Because of this, in synagogue, it is easy to spot bachelors as they are the ones without the <i>talled.<\/i>.. This custom rooted in the beautiful idea that a man is complete once he has found a wife, the <i>talled<\/i> being the symbol of this union and completeness.<\/p>\n<p>AC: For Italian Jews, the silk <i>talled<\/i> is also a cherished heirloom&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>RV: Exactly. Rather than worn every day, it is usually cherished and worn on special occasions particularly on the wedding day, and it is often passed down from father to son for generations.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In Rome, during the summer, between Pesach and Sukkot\u2014<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>on Friday night or weekdays when wearing a <i>talled<\/i> is not mandatory, the <i>chazanim<\/i> (cantors) wear a silk <i>talled.<\/i> To emphasize that it is not compulsory on those days, they wear it as a shawl around their neck, without covering the shoulders. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>AC: What do you feel is the significance and prospect for the re-introduction of the silk <i>talled <\/i>in Italy?<\/p>\n<p>RV: I think it can and will help better define the specificity of our tradition.. Through the talled\u2014which is usually a gift for a <i>bar mizwa<\/i> or a wedding\u2014 we can begin a journey that brings us back to our fathers, grandfathers, and ancestors. It can also be an occasion for self-discovery, and a step in a journey that can take us into the future with new pride in our traditions. There is no need to conform to what other Jewish communities wear, we have our own. We must teach our youngsters and bridegrooms to embrace their history, from food to liturgical and cantorial traditions. The <i>talled<\/i>, is part of this patrimony of Italian Judaism.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Others will ask: \u201c<i>ma nishtana<\/i>\u201d (in what are you different from others?), and this can hopefully ignite conversations, mutual knowledge, and exchanges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The resurgence of the Italian silk tallit.
