BAIS HAVAAD ON THE PARSHA 5774 Parshas Shelach - Ticheles in Contemporary Times

PLEASE HAVE IN MIND THE KIDNAPPED BOYS WHILE LEARNING THIS 1. Yaakov Naftali ben Rachel Devorah 2. Gilad Michael ben Bat Galim 3. Eyal ben Iris Teshurah Techeiles in Contemporary Times By: Rabbi Yisroel Barkin In this week's Parsha, we learn about the Mitzva of Tzitzis. This Mitzva has two components, one being lavan (white strings) and the other, techeiles (blue strings dyed with the blood of the chilazon). The identity of the chilazon and/or the dyeing process needed for techeiles was lost between the conclusion of the Amoraic period and the beginning of the Geonic period. Many theories, including the Arab conquest of 639 CE and a decree of the Roman Empire against its use, are given to explain the cause of its loss.
