One of the things that makes Aspen so special is our past history as a mining and ranching community. The Aspen Historical Society is presenting a little slice of our ranching past with the Holden Marolt Hoedown, tomorrow evening, June 16. This family event includes ranching games for kids, tours of the Ranching Museum, a BBQ dinner, beer and live music by the Smuggler Mountain Boys. A Jew gets a tallit on the day of majority. During prayer, he throws it over his shoulders, which symbolizes the divine patronage provided to the worshiper. When a cohen pronounces a priestly blessing, he covers his head with a jewish prayer shawl - When carrying the Torah scrolls to a new place, they are sometimes wrapped in a tallit. In some communities, a bride and groom are tied with a tallit during a wedding. Also tallit symbolizes the dedication of a man to his future wife. Putting on a tallit, he seems to protect himself.
