The Tzitzis wizard

Tzitzis, also called a tallis katan, are the four-cornered garment with fringes worn every day. This page brings together tzitzis from Malchut Judaica, Mefoar Judaica, Alef To Tav and our own Judaica Square line, in wool, cotton, poly-cotton, breathable mesh and T-shirt styles such as Perf-Tzit, for boys and men.

Choosing comes down to four things. Fabric: wool is the traditional choice, and cotton or mesh is lighter in warm weather. Neck: round or V-neck. Corners: one hole or two, plus the tying custom your family follows, Ashkenaz, Sefardi or Chabad. Strings: compare the exact string and tying options on each listing, including options sold without strings. Sizes run from kids' to adult, and each brand measures differently, so check the size chart on the listing before you order. Replacement strings are on the Tzitzis Strings page.

FAQs

Should I choose one hole or two holes?

Choose the corner construction and tying custom your family follows. Check the exact option on the product listing, or ask your rav if you are unsure.

How do I choose the string option?

Read the exact option on the listing rather than relying on a string name alone. Check whether it includes tied strings or is sold without strings, and confirm the spinning method and tying custom if those matter to your order.

Wool or cotton?

Compare the fabric composition, garment measurements and care instructions for the selected item. Cotton, wool, poly-cotton and mesh styles are listed here. Ask your rav about any halachic requirements.

How do I find the right size?

Use the measurements or size chart for that brand and style. A size number or suggested age is not interchangeable across brands. If measurements are missing, ask us before ordering.
