Please contact me if you are interested in quantity Check out this new color of blue: (click to zoom) Your "one stop shop" for things TZITZIT If you don't see it listed, contact me, I can probably make it ;-DPLEASE NOTE: I have sold thousands of Kosher 100% Cotton TZITZIT products to Jews, Christians, and Messianics over the years (check the eBay counter). I have a lot of original ideas that other people have "ripped off" from this page. I get a lot of hits on this page (see counter). Please understand that your complete satisfaction is very important to me, so please look this page over carefully. HOWEVER, If this practice of selling to anyone in the world (all 50 states and over 50 countries now) is against your Minhag or Rabbinical instructions, (or maybe you just don't want to do business with a sincere good guy) please do not buy these items from me. I will still wish you the greatest success in your future. SHALOM, my friend! Available Custom colors: holywordcafe.com/ebay/tzitzit-string-size-colors.html Please allow extra time for larger quantity orders as these are hand-tied TZITZIT Tassels THIS IS GOOD STUFF, ALSO MAKES A GREAT TEACHING TOOL!

The TZITZIT is desinged to be seen, and when seen, it reminds us to do the commandments of G-d.

INTRODUCTION: In Numbers 15:37-41, Deuteronomy 22:12, G-d (YHVH) commanded Moses for the Children of Israel to put "fringes" on the four corners of their garments. The Hebrew words are TZITZIT in Numbers 15:37-41 (which has a numerical value of 600); and GEDILIM in Deuteronomy 22:12. Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Chassidic tassels have 5 knots and 8 cords which equals 13 (600+13=613). 613 is the number of MITZVOT (commandments) found in the TORAH (the first 5 books of the TANAK - Hebrew Bible). Karaite and Two-House tassels have 12 strings and are made into "chains" or "braids." STYLES: $59.99 Karaite (4 to a set) Various braids, twists, "chains": Interestingly, there are no exact instructions in the Bible, on how to make these tassels and many have looked at the usage of the above Hebrew words (TZITZIT and GEDILIM) and concluded that "braids" or "chains" are the proper way to make them. Please understand that these sets take over 2 hours to make (about 30 minutes per tassel). There are 12 blue strings and 12 white strings (see pics rights for the braid). I can also make a set with tabernacle colors (see pics below). Please contact me if you have a custom request. I only use size #10 string in making these. They are about 18" when complete. $39.99 Two-House (4 to a set) 12 chains together, 12 chains scattered, 12 chains reunited (see pictures to the right for the braid): Following the Karaite method in brading these and literally looking at what the Bible DOES say and DOES NOT say, here are some deductions: TITZIT are for the "children of Israel" (this could be men, women, or children) The fringe goes on the border/corner (KANAPH) of a garment (white) The fringe is to include a cord of blue ( in Hebrew TEKHELET) The specifics of what blue to be used are not mentioned in any Bible text The blue cord goes on the fringe itself (but not the garment) Multiple threads are to be used (cord) The number of threads to be used is not mentioned in any Bible text There are to be four tassels for the four corners of the garment This is an outer (not inner) garment (vesture) that is used to cover the wearer The length of tassel is not mentioned in any Bible text The fringe may be braided (as opposed to tied) like what might be done with hair The number of braids to be made is not mentioned in any Bible text It is to serve as a reminder of all of the commandments of G-d and to do them Garments should also not have mixed fibers (Deuteronomy 22:11) The material to be used for the TZITZIT is not mentioned in any Bible textBeyond these Biblical guidelines is "tradition." This is where a certain blue, certain number of strings, certain number of knots or braids, certain length, certain numeric sybmolism (gematria) etc. come in. I have personally dicovered and made at least 15 (of many) different TZITZIT traditions along with learning something of their various meanings. They are all very interesting and beautiful in their own appearance. I use size #10 string in making these (I can also use size #3 string). They are about 18" when complete. The initial loop is made up of 40 chains (2.5-3"). This part that attaches is also only white. To that white loop is attached the blue cord (see pics right). There are 12 chains of white and 12 chains of blue bradided together (again, representing all tribes of the "children of Israel") Then there are two strands of white and blue separately (representing the divided or scattered tribes of Israelites). This "two-house" idea is found in Israel's history in the divided Northern tribes of Israel/Ephraim and Southern tribes of Judah. The last section shows again the joined strands of white and blue braided together based on the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:15-28. Total length of these fringes is about 18" Please understand the price, A set of 4 takes over 1 hour to make (some of the Karaite TZITZIT take over 2 hours to make) but a set looks really nice (see pictures). ATTACHING: I have had some questions on attaching TZITZIT to a TALLIT or Belt Loop. Here is a graphic to illustrate CUSTOM STUFF: Tabernacle ("mishkan") Colors for the Karaite style (White/Crimson/Blue/Purple): for the Two-House (Blue/Purple/Scarlet/White): Due to so many request for TZITZIT custom colors, I finally have some examples of each color in each size: Available Custom colors: holywordcafe.com/ebay/tzitzit-string-size-colors.html SHALOM!
