» Sidebands
Note: The Echt Turkish is made with no atara sewn on. If you would like one on the tallit, 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The Turkish tallit was originally made in Tunisia, but since Tunisia was part of the Ottoman Empire until 1881, tallits made there were referred to as “Turkish.”These Turkish tallits became a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
The Echt (and sometimes the Kmo) feature unique double-knotted fringes along the edges. They are often sold without an atara, because many Chassidim who opt for the Turkish or Kmo tallit have a special, ornate atara sewn on.

magnifique tallit
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.

Possibly the world’s greatest Tallit
This Tallit is amazing and I really like it I also got another Tallit a while back that one is awesome too and I am quite happy with the Tallitot that I own and I am definitely going to use this site for any thing I may need. (Replacements and/or gifts to friends). I was surprised that Ben sold to me with my first order but I am grateful, the closest Judaica store that sells the Tallit katan is a Chabad store in Houston. If I could rate this 1,000,000,000 stars if I could!

very happy
What I wanted in the beginning was the Hamefoar Prestige tallit based on the look, but I wanted the weight of the Echt Turkish, but with single fringes and a Traditional Atara. In the end I decided for the Echt Turkish because i want to feel the weight of the commandments and G-ds will when I pray. The Echt Turkish tallit is beautiful. It is nice and heavy, stays on and doesn't slip and the Traditional Atara is fantastic. I cried when I held the tallit in front of me for the blessing, this was probably more spiritual in nature, but i am so grateful for this very beautiful tallit to clothe me in prayer. When first inspecting the tallit there were some stitching threads that i had to trim, but everything else was great. Very minimal adjustments needed when being worn, once its on it stays on, depending on how actively you daven. I am 6 feet tall and got the 70 size, if i could i would get the 80 because I am a bigger man. I also got the thick Ptil Tekhelet which I am very happy with too. Overall I am very impressed and will continue to shop at Ben's Tallit Shop for my Judaic needs. Thank you

Quality Item
This is a beautifully made tallis and is a great hiddur mitsvah to use it....certainly feels like it is "there," which is a wonderful aid to my kavanah. Thank you also, Ben, for your excellent personalised service!

Real Craftsmanship
The Echt Tallit you sent is not just a quality product, it´s real craftmanship, and it feels great when I wear it. Me and my family are the only Jews in the place where I live, so I wear it just in my home. For me is not to show it, but to fulfill the mitzvah with kavanah, and this tallit helps me in that.

Tallit
The Tallit was a gift for a dear friend. The quality is unsurpassed, the most beautiful and heavy wool weave. Ben was a fantastic communicator and the item arrived quickly to the UK. Would recommend to anyone.
