    Product Description

    Sometimes referred to as the Echt Turkish Tallit (“genuine Turkish tallit”) or Tunisian Tallit, this is the heaviest black-on-white wool tallit available. No atara. Features the traditional Turkish thick black band and double-knotted side fringes, which lend added flare. Made in Israel.
     
    Owing to the dense fabric, this tallit lasts for years and therefore includes added features to make sure it retains its look over time.

    » Double-knotted fringes
    » Half-lining
    » Sidebands

    Note: If you would like to have a different atara sewn on, go to our Atara page and add an atara to your cart.

     

    The History of the Turkish Tallit

    The Turkish tallit was originally made in Tunisia, but since Tunisia was part of the Ottoman Empire until 1881, tallits made there were referred to as “Turkish.”

    This talit became popular because one of the Turkish sultans had banned flax plants, effectively making Tunisia a linen-free zone. Since wool products from Tunisia were known to be free of linen, there was no need to be concerned that one’s wool tallit contained shatnez.

    These Turkish tallits became a sought-after commodity in various Jewish communities, particularly in Chassidic circles.

    In 2008 it was found that Turkish tallits could no longer be safely assumed to be free of linen and therefore require rabbinic supervision like other tallits.

    Echt Turkish vs. Kmo Turkish


    Today two types of Turkish tallits are available. The Echt Turkish Tallit (“genuine Turkish prayer shawl”) is made from Tunisian wool, whose dense weave makes it the heaviest traditional wool tallit found. The Kmo Tallit (“faux”) employs the same design, pattern and features as authentic Turkish tallits, but uses a somewhat lighter weave of wool.

    Both the Echt and the Kmo often feature unique double-knotted fringes along the edges. They are sometimes sold without an atara, because many Chassidim who opt for the Turkish or Kmo tallit have a special, ornate atara sewn on.

      The Supreme Covering

      Posted by Myron on 9th Sep 2020

      I wanted my first tallit to be special and I know that I have found it with the echt turkish tallit. I love it's weight, it's size and all the extra's that I had added. I have to mention the shipping speed also ( three thumbs ) and I only have two hands, great job.

      Un talith de qualité

      Posted by Cedric on 7th Jan 2020

      Je cherchais un talith à la fois beau et sobre : le talith Echt Turkish est exactement ce qu'il me fallait ! Avec sa laine d'excellente qualité au tissage fin et assez dense, il a du corps et son est poids en conséquence, tout en restant raisonnable selon moi. Par des températures, on préférera toutefois une version plus légère. Agrémenté de l'atara de laine tissée main noir-blanc-argent disponible aussi sur ce site - qui lui ajoute encore un peu plus de consistance et de noblesse, je ne reçois que des compliments.

      Je peux recommander ce talith et j'en profite pour remercier Ben, qui a su répondre avec patience et diligence par mail à toutes mes questions.

      Beautiful Tallit! Fast!

      Posted by Brenton W. on 19th Jul 2018

      I was very impressed with this tallit. It is beautiful and the weave is superb. I have to say, that was the fastest shipping from Israel I have EVER experienced. It left the 15th and was delivered on the 18th. I will be doing business with Ben's Tallit Shop again for myself, friends, and family. Thanks, Ben!

      magnifique tallit

      Posted by Marc on 18th Jun 2018

      Apres de nombreuses discussions avec le vendeur, je ne regrette pas l'achat de ce tallit qui est d'excellente facture.
      On sent que c'est de la qualité
      par contre ceux qui ne supportent pas un peu de poids sur les epaules, passer votre chemin!
      L'atara est amovible et fixée avec des boutons pression plastic
      a voir a l'usage.
      Un tres bel achat.
