100% wool Blue Threads (Techelet) according to the Radzyner Rebbi.

We offer 2 types of sets for you to choose from. Each set is packed in a beautiful, transparent, plastic gift packing and contains 4 blue threads, each measuring 175cm (70") in length.

1st type: contains 4 blue threads, each measuring 175cm (70") in length and 1,3mm in thickness.

2nd type: contains 4 blue threads, each measuring 175cm (70") in length and 2mm in thickness.

This package contains strings of Radzyn Techelet produced with blue dye using the ink from "Cuttlefish" (Sepia officinalis). Cuttlefish are marine creatures belonging to the Cephalopoda class (which also includes squid, octopuses, and nautiluses). Despite their common name, Cuttlefish are not fish but molluscs. Cuttlefish have ink, like squid and octopuses.

The biblical "Techelet" was produced from a creature referred to as the Hillazon. The exact identity of the Hillazon was lost over the generations and thus Jews traditionally wore only white strings. The first attempt to rediscover the Hillazon was made by the Radzyner Rebbi, known as the Ba'al HaTechelet, Harav Hagaon Rabbi Gershon Chenoch Leiner Z*TL of Radzyn. In 1887 the Rebbi declared the Cuttlefish to be the lost Hillazon and began producing blue dye from its ink. There have since been other identifications of the Hillazon, but Radzyner Hassidim carry on the Rebbis tradition to this day by dyeing tzitzit with Cuttlefish Techelet in Bnei Brak, Israel.

Techelet / Tekhelet / Techeiles - what is it?

Tekhelet is one of the colors mentioned in the Torah, traditionally associated with a shade of blue. It is mentioned frequently alongside gold, silver and silk as a precious commodity. There is a Biblical commandment to tie a thread of Tekhelet around the tzitzit (fringes) of cornered garments. In addition, Tekhelet is required in the garments of the High Priest, as well as for the coverings of the holy vessels.
