Description
Why does the Torah enjoin us regarding techelet? Because techelet resembles sapphire, and the Tablets were made of sapphire, to tell you that as long as Bnei Yisrael gaze upon this techelet they are reminded of what is inscribed on the Tablets and observe the commandments, therefore it is written, ‘And you shall see it [the techelet string] and remember all of the commandments of G-d and you shall do them.’ – Mishnat Rabbi Eliezer, Chap. 14
Tzitzit carefully spun and twined in Kiryat Sefer by a ben Torah and dyed with Murex trunculus.
The default option for Tzitzit Techelet is made using Lashonot Hatzemer strings, which means the strings are made with mitzvah intent starting a bit earlier in the production stage than standard hand-spun tzitzit (considered a hiddur, according to some poskim).
The type (Rambam/Raavad) and length (Standard/Short) depends which opinion you follow, and how you plan to tie the tzitzit:
To tie according to the Vilna Gaon, Sefer HaChinuch, Amram Gaon or the Raavad, you will generally select Raavad strings, and you can select the Short option. (When tying Breslov, you cannot use the Short option.) This set comes with three white strings and one blue string for each corner.
To tie according to the Ben Ish Chai, Arizal or Rambam/Yemenite custom, you will generally select Rambam strings. (When tying Rambam/Yemenite 7 you cannot use the Short option.) This set comes with three white strings and one blue string for each corner.
If you would like us to do the tying, you would place your order as follows: (1) Go to a tallit or tallit katan product page, (2) select the size and “I don’t need tzitzit strings, (3) select the tying custom and add to cart, then (4) go back to this page and add the appropriate set of strings.
