About This Text

Author: Gershon Chanokh Leiner of Radzin
Composed: Radzyń Podlaski, 1888 CE
Ptil Tekhelet is the Radziner Rebbe (Rabbi Gershon Henoch Leiner)’s elaboration upon his treatise “Treasures Hidden in the Sand.” Ptil Tekhelet explains the Rebbe’s conclusion that the chilazon sea-creature described in rabbinic literature is the common cuttlefish, details the process of extracting the dye, and presents the laws of incorporating tekhelet into tzitzit (fringes affixed to four-cornered garments).
