− | Velvet | + | Velvet tallit and tefillin bags can be personalized with the recipient’s name and embroidered to make very individual bags. Traditional designs vary from very simple plain ones which just have the words tallit or tefillin in Hebrew together with the person’s Hebrew name, to elaborate embroidered designs. For example Chabad tallit and tefilin bags may be decorated with pictures of the Lubavitch headquarters at 770 Parkway, in Crown Heights, New York. Other types of designs available from companies include modern embroidered and appliqued designs illustrating views of Jerusalem or the Wailing Wall (Kotel) etc. Many designs use silver and gold thread and even metal applique to bring out the richness of the velvet. |

− | Modern artificial | + | Modern artificial silk velvet tallit and tefilin bags are very reasonably priced and make an excellent choice for a family on a budget. As long as the bags are protected from the rain by a plastic cover they last well, and can easily be repaired if they get damaged. The main disadvantage of a velvet tallit or tefilin bag is that they are usually the most common ones seen in a synagogue so it can be difficult to distinguish one pouch set from another. This makes it even more important to try and choose an individual style of design that can stand out from the crowd. Nevertheless because of this popularity someone having a velvet tallit and tefilin bag set will fit in whichever type of synagogue they choose to pray in. |
