The Mystery Of Tekhelet - Part I of III

The Mystery of Tekhelet is a fascinating documentary that takes the viewer on a journey through history in search of the ancient blue dye, Tekhelet.

The movie, richly filmed, travels through 3000 years of Jewish history. Come see scuba divers collecting the snails of Tekhelet off the coast of Israel. Observe Bedouin shepherds shearing sheep. Participate in sophisticated chemical analysis of the dyes as well as the actual dyeing of Tekhelet in a 2500 year old Tekhelet factory.

The Biblical commandment of Tzitzit and Tekhelet becomes meaningful in a profound way in P'til Tekhelet's The Mystery of Tekhelet.

[Terneyah]

Not kosher creature... ?!

[mnavon]

@Terneyah - Correct, the snail is not kosher. The Torah only requires kosher substances for use in ritual objects that contain God's name (like Torah, Mezuza, Teffillin) - please see my article "Mutar Befikha" on the tekhelet dot com website.

B"H

These English letters stand for the Hebrew words, B'ezrat Hashem, meaning G-D willingly...

The minhag to begin documents with these letters reminds us that only by Hashem's grace are we able to accomplish the task at hand.

[Merethic]

I am jewish, but I don't know why you write B''H in the beginning of letters. Can you please tell me?
