Actually the idea was to
gar-
have a four-cornered
ment to which one may at-
tach the fringes in fulfill-
ers
ment of the biblical com-
mand which asks us to put
MC DONALD FORD FARM
such fringes on the four
corners of our garments.

Originally, these fringes
were supposed to have had
341-3800
one thread of blue included
in them as the Bible states
"And Thou Shalt Put in a
Thread of B I u e" (Deut.
15:38). Since we were not
familiar with the proper
shade of blue which is re-
quired, our fringes are all
white.
To signify that ideally a
thread of blue is required,
some stripes are run through
the talit, either in black or
blue. The Talmud (Memahot
43:B) explains that the color
blue was originally required
for one thread of the fringes
because it represents the
royalty of the Almighty re-
flected by a stone of sapph-
ire under the chair of glory
and in turn reflected through
the sky and the sea.
It is required that fringes
ltzitzill be made up of a spe-
cific number of turns of
threads.
Some sources claim that
the Hebrew word tzitzit is
made up of letters whose to-
tal numerical equivalent is
600.
Adding to this the number
five representing the number
of knots and the number eight
representing the number of
threads, one arrived at a
total of 613, The fringes arc,
thus, a reminder to the
wearer to observe the 613
commandments of the Jew-
ish faith.
Other sources say that the
turns of the fringes required
for each fringe (i.e., 7, 8, 11
and 13) total 39.
The numerical equivalent
of the letters that make up
the Hebrew expression "God
is One" happens to b... 39.
The fringes, therefore, re-
mind us of the unity of the
Almighty. Some claim that
the five knots symbolize the
Five Books of Moses in
which 613 commandments are
written.
