In frum circles, until five or ten years ago, I'd say at least 90% of all men brought their tallit and tefillin to weekday Shacharit in a regular zippered tallit and tefillin bag cover made of nylon. The idea is that you need something to protect and show off your fine velvet tallit and...

Sometimes we have customers who have a special atara (tallit neckband) they want to attach. They intend to buy a tallit from us without the atara and sew on a unique atara they have from a previous tallit or made by a talented embroiderer. Once we had a customer  and wanted to treat himself to...

This week we received an inquiry from a customer thinking of buying a set of handspun tzitzit strings, but first he wanted to know the difference between the two types of rabbinical supervision.

Talitania's "David" is very close to Mishkan Hatchelet's "Tashbetz", the Malchut Tallit is similar to the Beit Yosef Tallit and both companies make...

The Shivat Haminim Tallit (or "Seven Species Tallit") features a rich pattern with shades of blue, magenta and other pastels. The vibrant designs focuses on a Shivat HaMinim motif -- the Seven Species for which the Land of Israel is praised: wheat, barley, olives, dates, figs, pomegranates and grapes. Inspiration Behind the Shivat HaMinim Tallit Various...

This week we received an inquiry about the fringes along the front bottom edge of a wool tallit katan. ​I was wondering if the wool tzitzit has the (tallis like) fringes across the bottom of the garment. I bought this type in Israel but can't find it in NY. Thanks, Zach Our standard wool tallit katan...
