Shlomoh Taitelbaum is actually one of the unofficial founders of Ptil Tekhelet. He studied in Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore and Yeshivas Toras Moshe in Jerusalem. He spent the better part of three years researching the halachic acceptability of identifying and re-instituting the mitzvah of tekhelet – culminating in his work “Lulaot Tekhelet” which is heralded as a major breakthrough into the Chareidi community. His lectures and shiurim on the subject focus primarily on the theoretical and Talmudic aspects of the re-identification of the coveted dye. He presently lives in Neve Yaakov, Jerusalem.
