weaving
Each of Hadar’s shawls and rugs are mindfully woven with prayer and intention. By practicing the ancient form of weaving, Hadar channels the requested prayer and meditates on the soul of the recipient to turn yarn into a cohesive piece that is unique and personalized. Each weaving is a customized manifestation of devotion, union, and intimacy.
To learn more about the history of prayer rugs in Jewish ritual, order Prostrations- the first ever compilation on the role of prostrations in Jewish prayer. This handbook was designed to accompany prostrations, a virtual multimedia art show about Jewish prayer during High Holidays.

“Hadar’s weaving is powerful. The more I ‘activate’ my use of the prayer shawl the more potent my experiences become in relation to its ritual magic. I’ve been working with it as I do my prayer and justice work. I love that it comes from the heart of Hadar and feel Hadar’s support and wisdom pouring through.” ️️️

“Hadar's prayer rug is one of the most beautiful gifts I never knew I needed. Each thread and stitch readily transmits the love and intention she put into weaving it. It feels like a portable altar and I use it any time I need to bring just a little more care & presence to myself, my space, or my activity. Very grateful to have it in my life and highly recommend!”

“I adore the prayer rug Hadar wove for me! The prayers woven in are palpable, and this rug has been journeying with me from place to place, altar to altar, so blessing up my devotion. Her intuitive craft is potent and the piece is gorgeous and lush. Thank you, Hadar!”

“I have been bonding with my prayer rug for weeks -- wearing it as a scarf, laying it on my bed, doing yoga with it at the top of my mat -- but have felt scared to really pray with it. I can feel its power! It's like having a magic carpet in my room. This week, finally, I laid my forehead for the first time on the beautiful weaving, and I felt a subtle forcefield of being held. I crawled every finger, elbow and toe onto the rug and just stayed there for awhile, grieving in sacred protection.”
