Picture Talk Reflections of Love Florist Shoe Time Spitzer's Hebrew Book & Gift Center Warren Optometric Center decided that he would learn to make them. A native of Minsk, Rus- sia, who has lived in Flint most of his life. Dr. Sor- scher began his hobby of weaving taleisim about three years ago after discov- ering that the sisterhood of the Philadelphia congrega- tion stopped making the prayer shawls. He enrolled in weaving classes at the Flint art in- stitute—a teaching in- stitution—and began mak- ing experimental pieces. When he decided he was proficient enough, he began making the taleisim for rel- atives and friends. Soon word spread of his crafts- manship and he began get- ting requests from the com- munity. Today, the sisterhood of Cong. Beth Israel in Flint makes arrangements to pur- chase one of Dr. Sorscher's works. He allows his cus- tomer to choose the color, but he takes control over the design. The talit, and its match- ing, zippered and lined talit bag, are usually ready in 90 days. There ate five sizes in which they are avail- able: children's, Bar Mit- zva, and small, medium and large adult. Proceeds from the sale of the prayer shawls are con- tributed to the synagogue building fund and the sister- hood. The taleisim are weaved in Dr. Sorscher's basement. They are never made on a Friday or Saturday and are of pure linen, pure wool or a synthetic. They are com- pletely kosher. The fibers for the talei- sim come from all over the world, especially from Scot- land and Denmark.

Member FDIC These taleisim and talit bags are only a few of the many produced by Flint dentist Dr. Sam Sorscher. A weav- er in his spare time, Dr. Sorscher travels frequently to find new fibers so that new color combinations may be used for his works. Each talit sold is accompanied by a matching, zippered and lined talit bag. * * * goes on trips to find new fibers. Metallic fibers are often used in the weaving of the talit. _ The Flint dentist spends much time on color corn- binations, and each of his pieces are completely differ- ent. His works have appeared in several shows at the Flint art institute.
