Parashat Hashavua: A House Full of Sefarim and a Tallit of Techeilet

A House Full of Sefarim and a Fully Blue Garment

Could a garment that was fully techelet (a shade of blue used in the strings of tzitzit) require tzitzit? Indeed there are two types of complaints that we have been dealing with, generation after generation, and they have broken Israel into splinters and caused discord.

Man is Beloved; Israel is Beloved
