		<description><![CDATA[I came across an interesting question on a frum forum about long tzitzit strings on little boys. I&#8217;d love to put in my two cents, but it&#8217;s a forum for Jewish mothers and they explicit state that men (and boys and unmarried girls) are uninvited. So I thought I&#8217;d at least comment here, since I&#8217;m <a href='http://www.tallit-shop.com/trim-tzitzit/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those who start tying Rambam tzitzit – both if you are tying techelet tzitzit or all white – may be undecided whether to tie 7 chulyoth or 13. The Gemara states very clearly that seven is the minimum and 13 is the maximum. Some poskim hold that 7 is the minimum and 13 is the <a href='http://www.tallit-shop.com/ptil-tekhelet-rambam-tzitzit/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why are the vast majority of tallitot made of wool? Why is a silk tallit or a cotton tallit the exception and not the rule? According to halacha, wool is the material of choice for a tallit, although other materials are acceptable as well. The only problem fabrics would be synthetics, according to some opinions, <a href='http://www.tallit-shop.com/tallit-material/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I get this question a lot. Often people ask me, &#8220;What is the prayer on the tallit collar?&#8221; (The correct term for the neckband on the tallit is &#8220;atara.&#8221;) First of all, it&#8217;s actually not a prayer, but the blessing recited just before putting the tallit on. And the blessing doesn&#8217;t mention the word &#8220;tallit,&#8221; <a href='http://www.tallit-shop.com/tallit-blessing-atara/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our classic wool tallits are not handmade, but we can make various modifications. For instance, last week a customer ordered a tallit that comes with a plain atara (neckband) and he asked us to put on an atara with the Tzitzit Brachah embroidered on it. And this week another customer wanted his name embroidered on <a href='http://www.tallit-shop.com/custom-embroidery-on-atara/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A black tallit was often worn by Yemenite Jews, particularly in central Yemen. According to Tamir Ratzon, a black tallit was commonly worn in Talmudic times. He cites Shabbat 147a, which discusses shaking a new black tallit on Shabbos. However, if I&#8217;m not mistaken, the word tallit in the Gemara is often a generic word <a href='http://www.tallit-shop.com/black-tallit-yemenite/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>
