The color is meant to remind us of the sky, and God's ever-presence in our lives. Yet for close to 1500 years, the source of this special blue dye has been lost to the world.  In an exciting discovery, marine biologists together with Talmudic researchers identified the source of "techelet" as a small snail found off the coast of Israel near Haifa.
