Choosing carefully<\/div>\r\n

Not sure which Tefillin to choose?<\/h2>\r\n

Batim, parchments, straps, size, tradition and level of Hiddur:\r\neach of these elements affects the quality, durability and price of a pair of Tefillin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n

Quality & budget<\/div>\r\n

How Much Do Tefillin Cost?<\/h2>\r\n

The price of Tefillin<\/strong> depends mainly on the quality\r\nof the parchments, the type of Batim, the straps and the level of craftsmanship.\r\nEntry-level Tefillin and Mehudar Gassot Tefillin do not require\r\nthe same materials or amount of work.<\/p>\r\n

Price should therefore not be the only factor:\r\ndurability, writing quality and the desired level of Hiddur are also important.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n
