Embroidered Tallis & Tefillin Bag, Custom Order #4011-20

The 4011 line runs several close variations, and #4011-20 is one of them: a fully embroidered tallis and tefillin bag with the needlework carrying the design rather than a fur or leather contrast. What you are choosing here is the embroidery itself, stitched by Malchut Judaica on a bag built after the order comes in.

Only one decision is asked of you, and it is the size. The bar mitzvah bag measures 10.5 by 10 inches, which is what a boy wants for tefillin he has just started laying. The large talis bag at 14 by 14 is the size most men settle on once a full tallis has to travel with the tefillin every morning. The extra large at 16 by 16 is for a big wool tallis, or for anyone who dislikes forcing a folded tallis into a bag that is fractionally too tight.

A bag like this earns its keep at the bar mitzvah and then keeps going for decades, which is the argument for ordering the larger size when the boy is close to needing it. Ask about the same design number if you later want a siddur cover or bencher worked to match.
