A very brief note on today's daf:
We embark on Perek IV, which is devoted to mitzvot that involve items that do not rely on other parts. Up for discussion are a number of examples, including the tzitzit of the tallit. The rabbis discuss something called techelet, a blue-green dye which was commanded to decorate certain holy items. The dye came from a chilazon which was determined like to have been a particular snail. Techelet was rare, even in the times of the Talmud.
