Ptil Tekhelet conference celebrating the centennial of Rabbi Herzog's ground-breaking doctorate beginning the era of Tekhelet research

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Rabbi Yitzchak Halevi Herzog's foundational doctorate, The Dyeing of Purple in Ancient Israel. This work inaugurated the era of modern research into the lost biblical blue dye and laid the foundations for all subsequent work in the field. To celebrate this event, Ptil Tekhelet, together with Yad Harav Herzog and Yeshiva University, will be hosting an international conference with leading personalities presenting their thoughts on the re-establishment of the beautiful mitzvah of Tekhelet.

Hundreds of thousands of Jews around the world are wearing Tekhelet strings on their tzitzit for the first time in 1300 years, and that is certainly something to celebrate!

Help us fund our centennial celebration.

Save the Date: December 30th, 2013 at the Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem.
