How was the mitzvah of Ptil Tekhelet renewed in Radzin (Radzyn)?

The mitzvah of Tekhelet was practiced by the Jewish people from the giving of the Torah until after they were exiled from their land and displaced from their soil. Due to the troubles of exile, royal decrees, and the pressures of the times, this precious mitzvah was forgotten over time.

About 125 years ago, in the year 5647 (1887), God inspired the Gaon and Tzaddik, Rabbi Gershon Henoch Leiner of Radzin, zt”l, to restore the mitzvah of Tekhelet in Tzitzit to its former glory. To this end, he conducted extensive Torah research in our sources, from the Mishnah, Baraitot, and Gemara to the writings of the Rishonim and Acharonim. In his three books "Sifsei Temunei Chol," "Ptil Tekhelet," and "Ein HaTekhelet," he established the halachic possibility of finding the Tekhelet and the sea snail needed for its dyeing.

He traveled across the seas in his fervent search and found in the city of Naples the original Tekhelet snail, which matched all the signs found in the Talmud and the writings of the Rishonim. Through great efforts, he succeeded in dyeing the Tekhelet strings as they were dyed in the times of Chazal.

After the Holocaust, with Divine assistance, the original formula used to dye the Tekhelet in Poland was found. Since then, many Jews have been incorporating the Radzin-dyed Tekhelet strings into their Tzitzit at the Radzin Chassidic center in Bnei Brak.
