Chabad Wool Tallis, Black Stripes, Sizes 60 to 90

This is the Chabad tallis: pure wool, woven with many wide black stripes across the cloth, the pattern Lubavitcher chassidim wear in shul. Malchut Judaica makes it in five sizes, and you can order it with thin avodas yad tzitzis already tied or with no strings, so your own tzitzis can be put on.

Choosing a size

The size numbers are labels for this line, not measurements, and here size 63 is larger than size 70. Malchut gives these fabric sizes and height ranges:

Strings

• Thin avodas yad: hand-spun strings, tied on the four corners before the tallis reaches you.
• Bli (no strings): the tallis comes without tzitzis, for families who have them tied by their own sofer or tie them at home.

Prices run from $152.50 for a Medium 60 with no strings to $231.50 for a 3X Large 90 with avodas yad strings.

How it compares

A classic Ashkenaz tallis usually has a few groups of black stripes near the ends. The Chabad pattern repeats wide black stripes over the whole tallis, which is why it is easy to recognize. For a white-on-white look, see the Mefoar Deluxe wool tallis with white stripes, or browse every style on our tallis page.

Frequently asked questions

Which size Chabad tallis should I order?
Go by height and the fabric size, not the number on the label. Medium 60 fits about 5'5" to 5'7", Large 70 about 5'8" to 5'10", Extra Large 63 about 5'11" to 6', and size 80 is for wearers over 6'.

What does bli mean?
Bli means the tallis comes with no strings attached, so you can have your own tzitzis tied on it.

Is this tallis pure wool?
Yes. Malchut Judaica lists it as pure wool.

Do you sell bags for a tallis like this?
Yes. Leather, velvet and embroidered bags, many with a matching tefillin bag, are on our tallis bags page.
