Abstract

The article explores the talmudic mysticism of the role of the tekhelet fringe in the relationship between God and the people of Israel. The author mentions that the people of Israel, through Moses, were told to look for the tekhelet fringe to be able to remember and do God's commandments. The author notes the misunderstanding of the fringe as a sign of idolatry lead to the disappearance of the tekhelet.
