Speak
unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them
throughout their generations fringes in the corners of their garments,
and that they put with the fringe of each corner a thread of blue. And
it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and
remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye go
not about after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to
go astray (Bamidbar 15:38-39)
Upon hearing the above verses
read from the Torah on Shabbat Parshat Shlach, many people are inspired
to strengthen their connection to the mitzvah of tzitzit. Our Sages
went so far as to expound upon the verse: "This is my God and I will
enshrine Him [ve'anveihu], be adorned [hitna'eh]
before Him with commandments, make before Him...beautiful tzitzit..."
(Shabbat 133b). It is also one of the few mitzvahs where the reason is
given alongside the commandment.
For those who would like to
fulfill the mitzvah of tzitzit with techelet, we are offering a special
sale in conjunction with the P'til Tekhelet Association. If you purchase
one or two sets of Ptil Tekhelet tzitzit strings, go ahead and add a cotton or wool garment free of charge. Just enter coupon code TKHLTAL

charge!
