High quality middle level gassos battim. Includes shel yad, shel rosh and protective storage boxes.
Depending on availability battim may be from either Maalin Bakodesh or Muzikant.
Gassos battim are the preferred battim for tefillin because of their strength, quality, and strict adherence to halacha.
Please see the detailed description below for detailed information on how to select the various options. Tefillin parshios are written entirely by hand. There is no way to rush the process if they haven’t yet been written! I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. In the event that no parshios are available from the sofer you have chosen, I will contact you with other similar options. Sometimes tefillin orders may take up to a month to be put together.
What does a Schecter set of tefillin battim have over a Starek set? I posed this question to my battim macher, Reb Yaakov Yosef Schwartz. He’s the person who puts all of my tefillin parshios into the battim, sews them up, paints them and seals them. Basically he works on tefillin battim all day. “Are their any important hiddurim that a Schecter bayis has that a Starek bayis doesn’t have,” I asked. “No, nothing especially important” he told me, “but their are a lot of small details in halacha that they incorporate into their battim. These details may not be so important in and of themselves, but if they are careful about the small things, it gives me the confidence that none of the really important things are overlooked.” While that may not be a convincing enough argument to spend $400 more for them than the Starek battim, Reb Yaakov Yosef had more to say on the matter. “The workmanship is exceptionally good. They work really hard to produce an extremely strong, beautiful set of battim. When you work with battim all day, there are aspects that can’t be put into words, marks of quality that may be intangible, but are still very real. That’s Schecter battim.”
Schecter battim are made to exacting standards in a small workshop. Includes shel yad and shel rosh and protective plastic boxes.
What I like about Steinberg parshios is that for their price they are a good buy. The writing looks like it could be worth more. It’s very consistent and clear. It’s smooth as well, with no letters written in any kind of funny way. The taggim are nice lines with circles on them, and I’m betting that the sofer who wrote the parshios did not give them to a second person to put the taggim on. They are way too nice for that. When someone is paid to put taggim on, he typically doesn’t do the greatest job, but when they are part of the creation of a naturally written letter, they flow much nicer and look more organically part of the letter itself. I also like that the thin lines are not so thin that they are heard to see. If you would like to compare them with a similarly priced parshios, take a look at Tzorkov’s parshios.
