It has a historical past of Jewish settlement reaching again to the 17th century, but nowadays there are no Jews there and practically no trace of the Jewish presence continues to be. The Jews of Sudilkov have been renown for the tallits they created. "Talleisim of Sudilkov have been identified internationally and their creation was the principal resource of earnings for the townspeople. The folks of Sudilkov considered that any person who bore the loved ones identify Talisman or Talismacher undoubtedly could trace their origin to Sudilkov. The silk and wool threads have been brought from Lodz and in the neighborhood workshops, expert craftsmen wove the talleisim. Traveling salesmen marketed their solution in all the Jewish communities the two around and considerably." Quoted from Yalkut Volhynia, 1948
