    We know that blue dye was very expensive in Biblical times and the Torah states the nations of the world traded it as a commodity. There are records in multiple different ancient nations that show the blue dye back then was created from snails: 1. The Greek historian Herodotus (c. 484-425 BCE) mentioned that the Phoenicians produced a highly prized purple dye from sea snails, which may have also yielded a blue dye. 2. The Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder (c. 23-79 CE) described the production of Tyrian purple dye from snails, which could turn blue after exposure to sunlight. 3. The Roman writer Vitruvius (c. 80-70 BCE - c. 15 BCE) also mentioned the use of sea snails for producing a blue dye in his treatise on architecture, "De Architectura." 4. Archaeological evidence from a 3,600-year-old workshop on the Greek island of Aegina confirms that the ancient Greeks and Romans produced blue dye from snails. 5. The Greek poet Oppian (2nd century CE) wrote a poem about fishing and described a mollusk that produced a blue dye. Rashi says that the Chilazone was a chomet and he says in another place that a chomet is a snail. Then we have the archeology that shows in Israel stockpiles of murex trunculous shells with holes in the shells where people who created dyes would puncture the shells. This does not prove 100% that the murex trunculous is the chilazon but it is definitely strong evidence of it... so much so Rabbi Belski held it was vadai the correct creature.

    Your comparison of techeles to the timing lulav is false. Your are comparing a safek in the item to a safek in time. Compare a safek estrog to safek techeles. Furthermore the gemora in menochos says that if it isn't techeles then it PASSELS the mitzva of tzitzit whereas all white is definitely a mitzva.

    Amazing. Another observation ( probably halachicly irrelevant) but in ALL of human history untill about 1600ce there were TWO materials capable of creating a durable color fast blue dye. Murex, and indigo (kaleh Ilan). ( There were only 3 more materials capable of creating a blue pigment). Blue- the rarest color occurring in nature.

    • @ZviJ1
      @ZviJ1 5 років тому

      This is incorrect, because indigo is known even from Rabbinic literature to be an non-fast dye, while Isatis Tinctoria (woad) was another source for colorfast blue-violet, if dyed properly. If indigo fits the bill for you, you also have to accept woad, black beans and at least one kind of spirulina that are all known as natural sources for blue-violet dyes.

    @fxtrader7856 5 років тому

    Many Orthodox Jews, not to mention the majority, prefer not to follow the Torah's order about the "pesil techeiles" because they say they do not know the exact shade of blue or how to obtain the color. That reasoning always seemed stupid to me. By not putting the blue thread, they are breaking an express order of the Torah, while putting the blue thread, although it is not the same blue tone used by Moses, at least they show God that they are trying to comply with the precept.

    • @ZviJ1
      @ZviJ1 5 років тому

      There was never a single blue tone. Every batch of cords or fabric dyed with Tekhelet comes out with a slightly different shade at least. This depends also on the material. Woad has been proved to be the authentic source of this dye, but this will not faze the Orthodox Jews, who are trapped with the Rabbinic decree, recorded in the Tosefta, that the source must be the elusive Ḥilazon.

    I really wanted to see to this done, after reading about tyrian purple, but Im saddened at how it was done. From what Ive read, its possible to extract the dye without killing the animal. Its used as a defense mechanism so all they really had to do was poke the snail until it squirted, rather than hammering its home and slicing off its organ.

    • @baruchsterman
      @baruchsterman 6 років тому

      There are many species of Murex - all secrete the precursors to the purple dyes. In the Mediterranean, the three species that are found - and that were used in the ancient Western world - all store those molecules in a gland that can only be accessed by breaking open the snails' shell. This is well documented by the Roman naturalists as well as by the Talmud. You may be referring to a species of Murex that is found along the Pacific coast of Mexico and down as far as Costa Rica, the Plicopurpura pansa. These were used in ancient times - and still today by the Mixtec - to dye yarn, and those snails do in fact secrete the yellow liquid when perturbed that turns into the purple dye. Whether those snails would be viable - ritually, economically, and practically - for use in making Tekhelet is an area of research that would be extremely worthwhile.

    Rav Menachem Ziemba, ended up in the Warsaw ghetto together with two other rabbis. They were offered a chance to get out, but they insisted on staying with their flock. He ruled in favor of the uprising, and, yes, the ruling make a difference to many people. (In general, the normal leadership - the Aguda (now UTJ) and the General Zionists (Chaim Weitzman's party) - was removed first by the Nazis (see Lucy D., War against the Jews), and thus the rebellion was in the hands of more fringe groups - the socialists (Labor) / Communists and the Revisionists (now Likud).)
