halacha - Arguments FOR Radzyner Techeiles


Mostly everyone agrees that the organization Ptil Tekhelet most likely uses the real techeiles and that Radzyner techeiles is unfortunately not the real deal.



But I'm asking what are the arguments promoting and for Radzyner techeiles?


Also, what disproves Radyzner techeiles other than archaeological finds? Halachah and archaeology don't technically agree on things.



Answer



There is an interesting documentary regarding the legitimacy of the Radzin Techeiles v.s. the Murex techeles presented by R' Michael Shlomo Bar-Ron. He is a strong supporter of the Radzin Techeiles being authentic. His presentation can be seen here.


Additionally if you are interested in looking at arguments against the Murex as being the Chilazon. Rav Shlomo Miller has a Teshuva (with a write up by Dr. Mendel Singer) against the idea that the Murex is the Chilazon which Chazal spoke of.


Hope this can be helpful.
