Detachable Cotton Tzitzits

Detachable cotton Tzitzits. Customized on request for the width of your belt or place you need to insert them (hang from).

The fringes or tassels worn on traditional or ceremonial garments by Jewish males as reminders of the commandments of Deuteronomy 22:12 and Numbers 15:37–41.

Each tassel has eight threads (when doubled over) and five sets of knots, totaling 13. The sum of all numbers is 613, traditionally the number of commandments in the Torah.

There are five knots: between the first and the second knot there are seven twists, between the second and third – eight twists, between the third and fourth – eleven twists and between the fourth and last – thirteen twists. In this second interpretation of the windings of the Tzitzit, the numbers 7-8-11-13 have special meaning: 7+8=15, which in Hebrew is written yod-hay, the first two letters of God’s name (the Tetragrammaton); 11=vav+hay, the third and fourth letters of God’s name. Hence the first three windings “spell” God’s holy name.
