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."
In the
Ashkenazi
,
Sephardic
, and
Chassidic
styles, the long cord is called the
shamash
(servant) which wraps around all of the other strings. The number of
shamash
spirals between the knots is also interesting. Various Traditions signify one of the Names of G-d (YHVH) differently.
STYLES

7-8-11-13
loops with double knots
:
7
+
8
=15 (numerical value of YOD and HE)
11
(numerical value of VAV and HE), hence the first three series of loops represent the personal name of G-d and in the last series of loops,
13
is the value for the letters ALEPH CHET DALET.
These numbers altogether represent the letters
YHVH ECHAD
- or "G-d is One" from the
Shema
in
Deuteronomy 6:4
.
By default I use heavy
white
and
navy blue
cords (
size #3
string) in making these.
TZITZIYOT
are about 14-15" long (about 21-23" for the
shamash
cord) length may vary a little I can also make custom colors or any combination.
Sephardic
10-5-6-5
(LORD)
looped knots with double knots
:
10
is the numerical value of YOD,
5
is the numerical value of HE,
6
is the numerical value of VAV, and
5
is the numerical value of HE, hence the series of loops (of individual knots) represent the personal name of G-d.
These numbers altogether (
26
) represent the letters
YHVH
- or the
Tetragrammaton
, the name of the G-d of Israel.
