    Product 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

    Hand-spun tzitzit dyed with Murex trunculus by the Ptil Tekhelet Assocation. Authorized dealer.
     
    Which set you choose (Raavad or Rambam) depends on how you plan to tie the tzitzit.
     
    To tie according to the Vilna Gaon, Sefer HaChinuch, Amram Gaon or the Raavad, choose Raavad strings. This set comes with three white strings and one blue string for each corner.
     
    To tie according to the Rambam or the Arizal, choose Rambam strings. This Ptil Tekhelet set comes with three white strings and one half white/half blue string for each corner.

      incrediBLE quality

      Posted by instructor.brian on 30th Apr 2024

      there is nothing normal about these strings. Superb material and care from start to finish. The packaging details halacha stipulations. Next time i'm ordering the extra thick tzitzi because whoever sees you wearing them will want them ~instructor.brian, rabbinical student of R'Nachman Wilhelm, Online Smicha

      Beautiful, thank you. I ordered the thin strings and tied them myself and I'm very satisfied, ordering another set now and planning on a third when I can afford a nice tallit gadol too.

      All my local Jewish bookstores were out. Ben's had the best shopping price to the US. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time.

      Thick P'til Tekhelet

      Posted by Akiva M. on 7th Sep 2022

      I ordered the thick p'til tekhelet, and I ordered tosafos strings. This being my first experience with tekhelet, I was a bit anxious, as the tosafot strings of course added up to some additional cost. There was no need for anxiety. Ben and his staff were attentive to my requests, clarified any confusion I had caused, and fulfilled my order beautifully. The tallit is marvelous, the P'til Tekhelet worth every penny and then some.... Definitely choose the thick strings, they just look and feel more substantial. I will be ordering again soon for tzitzit, and likely tefillin soon!
