Blue Fringes of Life Tallit by Pardes Designs
This design is symbolic of the threads on the four corners of the Tallit. It is called Tzizit. Each is knotted in a specific way. It is these fringes that transform the shawl from a mere garment into become a Tallit. One of the threads in each Tziziit is longer than the others,. It is this thread that is wound in the four spaces between the five knots. There are 7, 8, 11, and 13 windings. The first three numbers equal 26 - the numerical value of the He- brew word for G-d, consisting of the four letters Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh. transliterated usually as YHVH, pronounced as Adonai. The remaining 13 windings equals the numerical value of the He- brew word Ehad (“one”). Adonai Echad– The last words of the Shema stating G-d is One. This Tallit has the feel of a luxurious Shantung silk on one side, and a velvety, smooth satin feeling on the other side made of shantung satin poly. The designs on the Tallit are appliquéd on the main shawl. This tallit includes a matching tallit bag.
