The sons of Israel, among YHVH’s people, are commanded to wear tzitzit (tassels) on the corners of their garments.

Again YHVH spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the sons of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of YHVH and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, and that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for your God. (Num 15:37-41

“You shall make tassels on the four corners of the clothing with which you cover yourself. (Deu 22:12)

I have to admit that when I first saw this section of Torah that I was a bit concerned that I might look like a geek if I did as my Father commanded me. But my desire to follow my Father wholly in righteousness, and not the harlotry the which my own heart and my own eyes are inclined, won the decision for Him, and me in October of 2005.

Since that time I have become so accustomed to wearing tzitzit that I do not feel fully dressed if I do not have them on. They have presented many opportunities to share my Father’s word with others, and that, I always take advantage of.

Some of you brothers may be thinking, “I want to get married at some point, who is going to want to marry me if I am wearing tzitzit?” This is totally the wrong question to to be asking if you want to follow YHVH wholly. I am looking for women that will encourage me to follow my Father in all His ways; and a man and woman can become great together in YHVH’s kingdom with this kind of attitude. If we are to be our Father’s holy and called out people, we must be willing to stand on His word alone. That, is real faith; and faithful is the servant that does not worry about what others say or do, but only does what the Father asks!

Many ladies have asked if they too can wear tzitzit; oh, that we all would have that same beautiful mind-set towards our Father’s word. Let’s all become like these ladies and look for ways to obey our Father more fully, instead of trying to figure reasons why we can not obey Him. To these dear women my heart says “yes, yes, yes” but YHVH’s word says otherwise.

“A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to YHVH your God. (Deu 22:5)

Here is a link to a blog on who the benai of Israel are. Please read it before you react to my last two paragraphs.

If a woman wears tzitzit, which YHVH told His “men” to wear, would she not be wearing that which pertains to a man? We are not allowed to add to YHVH’s word, and sons of Israel is not the same as daughters of Israel. This is actually my second writing of this blog and I had to turn my position concerning woman wearing tzitzit around 180 degrees after receiving a gentle correction from a woman who fears YHVH. This is why I wear tzitzit; to follow only YHVH’s ways and not the ways of my heart. Remember, my heart said, “yes, yes, yes” but YHVH’s unchanging and eternal words spoke differently.

I have been making sets (of 4) tzitzit for several years like the one pictured above; it takes me a little over 2 hours to make a set and I charge $25 per set which includes shipping. I particularly like this design because it reminds me of Israel (all twelve tribes) beginning together, then separating into the two houses and finally, YHVH bringing us all back together again in the last days. Making tzitzit is one of a few ways that I have found to keep myself fed and warm; and I would be very pleased if you were to order a set from me. To order a set of tzitzit please use the contact information on this blog to get in touch.

If you would like to make your own tzitzit, here is a video which describes how you can make a quick set for yourself. It is my hope and prayer that you will begin wearing tassels today. They will remind you to remember all the commandments of YHVH and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which our own heart and our own eyes are inclined. Yah’s peace to you!
