Hello! I’m looking for a tallit and really overwhelmed with how to pick one out. I’m not orthodox (plus I’m a woman) — I’m in a Conservative community (and likely will be in trad egal spaces soon) and it’s been difficult to find halachic guidance about this that is not orthodox. So far what I understand is that orthodox halacha sees pure wool as the “best” d’oraita option but somehow pure cotton or silk are permissible as a rabbinical opinion? I wouldn’t mind being pointed to some resources that show the text sources, halacha, and teshuvot for this — and especially please if anyone has guidance about the Conservative opinion on this, that’s what I would really prefer to follow! If anyone has the time/energy to give me some education, I’d really appreciate that!
I also would really love to look at some of the tallit options on somewhere like Etsy to support homemade goods but I’m wary of making sure the tallit I choose is kosher and also not M*ssi, obviously. Do you think as a layperson I can tell for myself, or should I stick with reputable sellers?
Thank you all so much — I hope everyone had a nice RH and may we all be remembered for life.
