Reply To: Techeiles 🔵❎🐌☑️🐟

Sorry, part of my last statement somehow got cut out. In between my third to last and second to last statements I had said the following: (Therefore, even if it would say Domeh L’rakia it wouldn’t be a problem.)

Anyway, Meseches Tzitzis does not say that Techeiles is Domeh L’rakia, rather it says that the chilazon is Domeh L’rakia (which ironically is worse for the Murex Trunculus). The Medrash Rabba in several places syas “Domeh L’yam…” but at the end of Shelach it does say “Domeh Lrakia”, However as I have already pointed out, the Maharzu emends it to conform with all the other places. (Also if Techeiles is Domeh L’rakia then it’s shver on all the mefarshim who explain the Gemara that it’s not directly domeh L’rakia but rather a step by step progression from Techeiles to Yam to Rakia.)
