"Speak to the Children of Israel and bid them that they make fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of each corner a thread of blue (tekhelet). And it shall be for you as a fringe, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of G-d, and do them..." (Numbers 15:38-39)

TEKHELET TIDINGS...


Sh'hehiyanu L'Zman HaTekhelet

When one comes to put on tekhelet for the first time, an oft asked question is: Do I say the blessing of Sh'hehiyanu? Rabbi Mois Navon addresses this issue in his latest article Sh'hehiyanu L'Zman HaTekhelet.
