Description

In this shiur entitled Techeles, to wear or not to wear?, we will speak about the Mitzva DeOraisa of Techeles, which is the subject of a controversy between R' Yehuda HaNasi & the Chachamim. According to R' Yehuda, Techeles is indispensable to the mitzva of Tzitzis. The Chachomim maintain that Lavan without Techeles is sufficient to obtain the mitzva of Tzitzis. We will study the 3-way debate regarding the issue of how many strings require Techeles. Finally we will address the innovation of the Radziner Rebby, who 150 years ago declared that he identitfied the Chilazon and re-instituted the mitzva of Techeles. Why wasn't his opinion accepted by the Torah giants of his generation? What isues lie at the center of this controversy?
