STaM Workshop in Israel

Choosing the Right Tefillin

Sephardic or Ashkenazi, Gassot or Pshutot, Rashi or Rabbeinu Tam:
choosing a pair of Tefillin depends on your tradition,
the level of quality you are looking for and how the Tefillin will be used.
We help you understand the main differences so that you can make an informed choice.

More affordable

Pshutot Tefillin

A more affordable option with thinner and lighter Batim.
They are more fragile than Gassot Tefillin and therefore require
greater care when used regularly.


Recommended for regular use

Gassot Tefillin

Batim made from much thicker and stronger leather.
Gassot are generally preferred for a pair intended
to be worn daily for many years.

Compact size

Pitspunim Tefillin

Compact Gassot Tefillin with Batim measuring approximately
22 × 22 mm. They are ideal for those looking
for a particularly small and convenient pair.

Your tradition

Sephardic Tefillin

The writing of the parchment should correspond to your family tradition.
We offer several levels of Sephardic Tefillin,
including high-quality Gassot and Mehudar options.

Choosing carefully

Not sure which Tefillin to choose?

Batim, parchments, straps, size, tradition and level of Hiddur:
each of these elements affects the quality, durability and price of a pair of Tefillin.

Quality & budget

How Much Do Tefillin Cost?

The price of Tefillin depends mainly on the quality
of the parchments, the type of Batim, the straps and the level of craftsmanship.
Entry-level Tefillin and Mehudar Gassot Tefillin do not require
the same materials or amount of work.

Price should therefore not be the only factor:
durability, writing quality and the desired level of Hiddur are also important.

Dimensions

What Size Tefillin Should You Choose?

Batim size can vary considerably.
Some prefer standard-sized Tefillin while others look for smaller models
for greater comfort or to wear two pairs.

Size guide

  • 22 mm: very compact Pitspunim format.
  • 27–29 mm: medium size.
  • 31–34 mm approximately: common dimensions
    for many standard Gassot Batim.

Rashi & Rabbeinu Tam

Two Tefillin Configurations to Know

The main difference concerns the order of the Torah passages
placed inside the Batim. The pair commonly worn follows the opinion of Rashi.
Many people also wear a second pair according to Rabbeinu Tam.
