Looking for an especially Mehudar level of Tzitzit preparation?
Our Niputz Lishmah Avodat Yad Tzitzit Strings by Mishkan HaTchelet are produced under Badatz Eidah HaChareidis supervision.

Available options include:
-
Thin Ptil: Size 50
-
Medium Ptil: Sizes 55 and 65
-
Thick Ptil: Sizes 60, 70 and 80
The product listing also identifies Thick Ptil Size 70 as the appropriate option for Chabad tying.
Price: $39
An excellent option for customers specifically seeking Niputz Lishmah with Avodat Yad production.
4. Ptil Tekhelet Tzitzit Strings – $120
For customers whose Minhag includes Tekhelet, Orot Judaica also offers specialized Ptil Tekhelet options.
Our Ptil Tekhelet – Rambam Method is available in thin and thick options prepared for the Rambam tying configuration.
The Ptil Tekhelet – Raavad Method includes thin and thick options for the Raavad and Chinuch/GRA configurations.
These strings use dye derived from Murex trunculus and are produced through handwork under rabbinical supervision, as detailed on their respective product pages.
Both are currently priced at $120.
Tekhelet practices differ among communities and rabbinic authorities. Choose according to your established Halachic guidance.
Thin vs. Thick Tzitzit Strings: Which Should You Buy?
The main distinction is the thickness of the Ptil.
Thin Ptil: Ideal for customers who prefer a finer appearance and whose tying custom calls for this type of string.
Thick Ptil: Suitable for those who prefer a more substantial string and an appropriate thick-string tying arrangement.
Niputz Lishmah: Intended for customers who specifically seek the additional preparation process performed Lishmah.
The Ptil size number refers to the manufacturer's string-size option, not the size of your shirt or Tallit.
String lengths and Shamash lengths also vary between products, so compare the specifications before ordering.
Need a Complete Tallit Katan Instead?
If you prefer a ready-to-wear garment rather than buying separate strings, Orot Judaica also offers the 100% Cotton Exclusive Tallit Katan, currently priced at $16, with Tzitzit already attached.
For an undershirt-style garment, consider the 100% Cotton Mishkan HaTchelet Tzitzit Undershirt, with sizes for boys and men starting at $14.
