On the eighth day it is commanded to perform circumcision on new born males(Genesis 17:12). On the eight day of Sukkote we are to hold a sacred assembly and have a day of Rest(Lev 23:36,39). During the Feast of First Fruits, the priest is to wave the sheaf before YHWH so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath, ( the eighth day). On the day you wave the sheaf, you must sacrifice as a burnt offering to YHWH a lamb a year old without defect. (Lev 23:11) So we could say that the number eight signifies new beginnings ( new birth ), deliverance and unity.

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, cobalt blue and navy. You may also decide if you would like your cords to be made with Pure White or Natural Beige Cords.

Each set of Tzitzit comes with 4 tassels each tassel has a top loop for easy attachment to any garment with 4 corners.
