    Product Description

    The Kmo Tallit (meaning “similar to”), sometimes called a “Turkish-style tallit” or “Tunisian tallit,” features a more pronounced wide band, often favored by chassidim.
     
    A great choice as a chassan tallis or for anyone who prefers a weighty tallit with more pronounced striping.

    » Half-lining (extends lifespan of the tallit)
    » Side bands

    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    The Turkish tallit was originally made in Tunisia, but since Tunisia was part of the Ottoman Empire until 1881, tallits made there were referred to as “Turkish.”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 (Tunis) 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” or "Turkish-style tallit") employs the same design, striping pattern and features as authentic Turkish tallits, but uses a lighter weave of wool.

    The Echt features unique double-knotted fringes along the edges and is sometimes sold without an atara, because many who opt for the Turkish or Kmo tallit have a special, ornate atara sewn on.
