Menachos 042: Why does Bitul not apply to Techeles?
AVI GOLDBERG asked:
IF TEST DYE IS POURED IS POURED BACH INTO MIXING V.A.T EVERYTHING IS
DISQUALIFIED. Q.WHY DON'T THE RULES OF BITUL APPLY?
AVI GOLDBERG, LONDON UK
----------------------------------------------
The Kollel replies
The Taharas ha'Kodesh actually changes the Girsa in Rashi due to your
question. However, Rashi earlier (on 40a) also writes that the entire vat
will be disqualified. The Olas Shlomo answers according to the Ran in
Nedarim (52a) that only Isur is Batel in Heter, and the dye -- although it
will not dye the Tzizis properly -- is not considered Isur.
In a similar vein, there are those who prove from the Rosh in Chulin that
Bitul can only take away negative characteristics, such as Isur, but it
cannot give the substance which became Batel any positive characteristics.
Although this rule does not seem to be universally accepted, it may apply here.
