    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.

      I've been using Ptil Tekhelet strings from the Murex for years, and will never use anything else.

      Ptil Tekhelet

      Necessary

      Posted by David Y on 11th Mar 2018

      Personally, I would have great difficulty with wearing a Tallit which did not have Ptil Tekhelet strings. It is a fundamental part of the mitsvah, in my opinion. One packet recently purchased did have a frayed white string but from experience, this is unusual.

      excellent service

      Posted by Isaac Balbin on 30th Dec 2017

      I tasked Ben to procure long thick Techeles to be tied according to Tosfos, with Rav Hershel Schachter’s 7 x 7 Rokiah preference and the opinion of the Baal Hoittur which Rav Schachter also suggests. The tying was perfect and the service was quick, even to Australia.
