Twelve Tribe Torah Cover M291

The Twelve Tribe Torah Cover

The expression of love and awe to God's Commandments is apparent in this beautiful Torah cover, or mantle. The Twelve Tribe Torah Cover masters the insignia of the 12 Tribes of Israel and their names, with each representing one of the 12 precious stones a garment worn by the Kohan Gadol (High Priest) in the Temple while performing the holy duties. This garment is called choshen mishpat in Hebrew, which means the "breastplate of judgment" or "decision". Square-shaped and worn over the heart, it was called so because of the unique role which it played in helping to render fateful decisions.

Donate this exquisite Torah mantle to your synagogue to commemorate an event or honor a loved one. A dedication is typically embroidered on the Torah cover in gold or silver matching the design.
