I'm 84 years old (my father), and my begeds were all made by myself out of fine cotton material from South Africa. I bought the best of tzitzit from Israel, and started to make them. This was a few years ago. Your video is outstanding! No balagan there! I'm going to watch it again, and get all the important points back into my brain. Thanks very much. Have a gute Yohr.
Well done! I think it's very valuable, for a number of reasons, to learn how to tie tzitzit rather than buying a tallit katan with tzitzit already tied. It should probably be mentioned that this video followed the Ashkenazi tying custom, whereas most Sephardic and some Yemenite Jews have a different tying custom.
Shalom!
Thank you for your interesting question.
It is best to express the intention of "Lishmo" (explicitly for the purpose of the Mitzva of Tzitzit, i.e. - "L'Shem Mitzvat Tzitzit") by each set of wrappings and knots - (source: "Code of Jewish Law" O.C. 14:2; MB 6, 8, "Biur Halacha" s.v. "Bli" there; see also "Ohr Torah" [Tishrei 5750] 118).
Thank you. I have one tip to add to this great video. When making the slip knot to keep the two sets of four strings apart, I found it helpful to place the bobby pin in the loop of the knot so that the the knot cannot become undone. This makes sure that the you don't mix it up towards the end.
Shalom Shalom!!!!!
Thank you for showing us that blessed video! I will get to making them when I get the yarn to. I tried it with tiny different colored thread but that didn't work out too good. Me and my Dad plan to make Tzitzits, and then sell them.
Anyway, I am just about to turn 16 and I am just starting to understand Tzitzis and what they're for, As well as headwear. :D
I like it, it really helps me when tying my own tzitzit. I give it a 5 out of 5.
Excellent!!! Toda!!! I have been looking for a instructional like this.
Most excellent. I shall follow the instructions to the letter. Many thanks.
Excellent. Thank you. Shalom.
Shalom thanks so much, very easy with your instruction, toda raba,...
Thanks! I have had to use this vid a couple times now.
Excellent Video.
Thanks!
awesome Video! thank you!
I was wondering if women are allowed to make tzitzit (leshem mitzva tzitzit). My husband's tzitzits are falling apart and most of them are not kosher anymore, and would like to make sure they are. ( I am only talking about the tallit katan, and not the tallit gadol) thank you for letting me know!
what about the thing I heard about a blue thread [tchelet]?
Why isn't there a Techelet thread there?
I like withe and blue
brother where's the blue strain. it's a mitzvot to put the blue strain.
Thanks for posting this video. I remember seeing a "fancy" version of the winding. If I remember correctly it had a staircase pattern. Do you know how to do that? Or any other decorative technique that makes the tzitzis more special? What about using a blue thread?
Hi,
how long are the strings?
Is it ok, to cut shorter the knotted strings after the last knot?
very helpful thanx just need some intruction on how to then take care of them so they will last!
kol hakavod nicely done. isn't it a frumkeit to keep repeating the kavannah all those times? certainly once is enough.
what length are the two sets of thread to begin with
very educational
how long are the short ones and the longest? in cm?
Wonderful, Baruch haShem
Why 7,8. 11 13?
If the purpose of the command (place a ribbon of techlit on your garments so that when you look upon it you will REMEMBER ALL MY COMMANDMENTS) is to help us remember the commandments, why do we place so much emphasis on the vanity of the how to make and ceremonial, and forget to emphasize the main point the Almighty was making? Get some blue thread and put those things on the garments you wear daily, then you will be performing what Yod Heh Vav Heh is asking of Yisrael.
Scissors is fine.
I think he did it wrong. You Must wrap the shamesh around counter clockwise and he did It clockwise
thanks it was very helpful. But the Scriptures does not indicate how the tzitzit should look like or how many turns needs to be made. I read that the turns should be 10-6-5-6. Which is the numerical value for the Father's name YHVH.
They need to hang off the side.
