Tekhelet
Question
What is the Rabbi’s view about the tekhelet they call “Markus,” which many very learned Torah scholars understand to be the genuine tekhelet, and that one should put it on one’s tzitzit?
Has the Rabbi studied and dealt with this topic at all?
Answer
I don’t know what “Markus” is. I wear tekhelet made from the spiny dye-murex, which in my opinion has a pretty good chance of being the real tekhelet.
