| We often
are asked
about
choosing a
Tallit size.
Your tallit
size is
actually a
personal
preference.
Most all
tallit prayer
shawls are
72" to 80"
in width
spanning
across from
arm to arm.
The length
down the
back is
where sizes
vary. If you
like to wear
a prayer
shawl as a
scarf
draping over
the
shoulders,
then size
18/72" and
24/72" are
ideal. If
you would
like it
going half
way down
your back
then 28" to
32" is
ideal.
Larger sizes
such as 36"
to 47" are
longer and
on average
will reach
lower back
to upper leg
area. Size
50" - 70"
are usually
the largest
and are well
worn for
those
enjoying a
prayer shawl
down the
length of
one's body
and lifting
the tallit prayer
shawl on
either arm
over the
shoulders.
Large tallit sizes
are common
for the
religious
community
and people
who enjoy a
royal look
in
wearing
their tallit prayer
shawl.

Classic
style
tallit prayer shawls
are
made of wool
or a blend of
materials
with
striping in
Black, Navy,
or White.
Our classic
tallit prayer
Shawls are
machine made
in Israel
for quality
and economic
pricing.
They are
soft wool,
dyed white,
and vibrant
feel and
look on it's
striping.
Designer tallits come
in wool,
silk,
Shiffon, and
blended
materials.
The higher
end prayer
shawls are
hand made by
select
artists and
hence may
take 1-3
weeks to
complete
depending on
style.
Fringes
of the four
corners are
called
tallit
tzitzit.
Often you
will have an
option for
thick vs.
regular
tallit tzitzit.
While not
necessary,
generally,
the thicker
tallit tzitzit is
simply a
preference.
They can be
easier to
last in a
wash, and
more
tangible for
holding in
prayer.
Techelet
tallit
tzizit are
turquoise
colored strings
that is
commanded to
be had 1 in
4 strings
per corner.
The bible
commands
that these
tallit Techelet
strings be
from a sea
animal named
"chilazon".
Over
thousands of
years, this
sea creature
was lost due
to
identification,
and the
common
practice was
to wear all
white
strings.
Today, there
has been a
rebirth of
the techelet
dye tallits with a
sea creature
that has
been
identified
as the "Chilazon"
by many
authorities
in Israel.
Hence, we
offer the
only most
authoritative
Techelet
tallit strings
available
from Israel.
These
tallit strings are
known to
slightly run
in color in
the wash,
and it is
recommended
to hand
wash.
Finally,
we offer an
exclusive
rich
personalization
by way of
embroidery
on all our
classic
tallits as
well as most
of our
designer
theme and
silk tallits.
Personalization
can be done
in Gold,
Silver,
Navy, or
other
preferred
threads and
can be sewn
at the
corner or
across the
middle to
provide you
with your
unique
prayer
shawl &
tallit. Wear
it in Good
health !
