Tzitzit Ashkenaz- Traditional Style

Description

The ashkenaz style tzitzit has a numerical value meaning to it.
On each tzitzit there are 39 windings (7, 8, 11, and 13 separated by double knots). The sum of the first three, 26, is the numerical value of YHVH. The final number, 13, is the numerical value of Echad (one). It is said that to look at the tzitzit is to always be reminded that Elohim is One. This goes in line with the Torah in Deut 6:4 known as the “Sh’ma”. Hear O Israel, YHWH our Elohim, YHWH is Echad.
Why Choose Indigo?
The reason Indigo is so favored among believers today is that it is a clean alternative to the unkosher snail (Murex trunculus) dye commonly used. It is the same exact chemical make-up of the traditionally used snail dye, except instead of deriving from the blood of an unclean sea creature, it is made from the natural Indigo plant Indigofera Tinctoria. It is noted by the rabbinates that “Kela Ilan” (Indigofera Tinctoria) has consistently been identified as indigo (Aruch), which is blue. The blue dye obtained from the Murex trunculus snail is molecularly equivalent to the dye obtained from the kela ilan plant. (Royal Purple, p.175; Sterman, p.66). We love the indigo also because the blue shades vary from a deep navy blue to a light sky blue, depending on the length of time spent in the dye vats. All shades are equally beautiful and match the color of the sky at any time of the day or evening. These cords were hand dyed in-house by us especially for you. Most of our cords available are a beautiful dark sky blue shade as pictured here. But we also have non-indigo dyed cords in light sky blue, azure blue and navy. You may also decide if you would like your cords to be made with Pure White or Natural Beige Cords.
Each tassel contains an Indigo Blue Cord dyed Naturally with a 3 inch top loop for easy attachment to any garment.
