Talk:Tekhelet in Judaism

old talk
There's a whole book on this subject (which I own a copy of, somewhere, but I can't find it right now, and can't remember the name). AnonMoos 03:21, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * The book is The National Colors of the People of Israel: Tradition, Religion, Philosophy, and Politics Intertwined (ISBN 965-293-059-8). It's kind of a funny little book, but it might have relevant material for this article (it has a whole long discussion on the history and significance of different shades of blue in Judaism).

Another book which deals with political color symbolism in depth is The Color of Truth Vol I: Patterns in Light by S.T. Manning ISBN 978-0-9551503-4-0 Israel is discussed in her (blue-white) feminine role in relationship with 'God' and in contrast to her traditional political opponents who, intriguingly, wrap themselves in the reds and red-blacks of the aggressive masculine archetype... -- 20:34, 11 June 2007 81.169.147.22

Israel
Fact: the flag of the Jewish state reflected Jewish symbolism, like it or not. ←Humus sapiens ну? 08:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Traditional tallit with blue stripes.
The word "traditional" is obviously modifying the word "tallit". It's a traditional tallit, that happens to have blue stripes. The caption is not "Tallit with traditional blue stripes". Jayjg (talk) 22:13, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Tzfat
This article needs to mention all those beautiful blue synagogues in Tzfat. Many of them 600 years old or more, built by Sephardi Jews, everything is painted blue, from the walls and gates, to the cracks in the bricks in the courtyard. 86.176.16.72 (talk) 23:35, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Title
Why was the title changed from "Blue in Judaism"? It was done by a now-banned user with apparently no discussion or consensus. The current title seems redundant, since Tekhelet as a term is only really used by Jews or people talking about Judaism. Qualiesin (talk) 01:30, 12 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I would support changing the title back. AnonMoos (talk) 13:14, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
