We haven't forgotten 😂😂😂 In biblical days that dye used to make the thread blue came from a snail that no longer exists. Therefore, the Talmud dictates, that dyeing a thread blue with anything other than that particular snail, can bring about a curse. The concept of the wrong dye is called "Kala Ilan" whereas the correct blue dye constitutes the thread as "Techelet" We appreciate your concern though, 😅
I wear the Tzitziyot the same way you do and I also put them through the button holes on my work overalls in approximately the same place my belt loops are. Thank you for re-affirming my reasoning for wearing the Tzitziyot.
Belt loops? What do you do when going to the toilet? If you drop your trousers they hit the floor! Would you throw your bible on the restroom floor? If you are at the urinal then the tzitzit could get splashed with urine. I want to remove the garment completely before going in the restroom.
How do you wear them if you are just knocking around the house in sweatpants 🤔 Just asking because I have yet to find a good solution. For a while we used suspender clips, but they wear out surprisingly quickly.
To be honest, I frequently don't wear them in those cases (gym shorts for me, instead of sweatpants). Since their primary purpose is to be seen, if there's no one around to see them...
I'm not Jewish, and I'm not addressing people who want to be Jewish. My interest is in what Scripture says, not what Jewish tradition says. If you want to follow rabbinic rulings, on these matters, that's OK by me. It's just not my concern.
@@AmericanTorah but why would you want to mislead people on tzitzit? Another question is why the tzitzit? We have 613 other mitzvas putting on teffili observing shabbos ect... why did you pick tzitzit? I mean no disrespect by the way,
@JASONMORTY1982 I have no desire to mislead anyone. Why tzitzit? Because that's the topic of this video. I've made 100s of videos on numerous topics, including the Sabbath. I'd love to get your perspective on a non-Jewish interpretation of Torah for the benefit of non-Jews. With the understanding that I respect rabbinic scholarship, but I don't accept rabbinic authority.
@@AmericanTorah so I wear tzitzit on a beged (undershirt) that is split on the sides to make the 4 corners. I say a brucha and put them on, since I work for fedex I tuck them in which is allowed! Now I personally love having my tzitzit out because seeing them "like you said" makes you remember but the caveat is tzitzit acts as like a magen (shield) of sort. Now as long as you da-ven and wear a Tallit technically you have performed the mitzvah and do not need to wear tzitzit on a beged. But a lot of Jews including myself rarely take it off as not only is a a magen for us but tzitzit is a symbol of who we are! But wearing them tucked in you still know you are wearing them and you know why you are.
Question: do you believe in the resurrection of the dead, the life after, Messiah, angel, demons, water baptism? If you do, you are accepting Rabbinic authority. Just saying. Blessings
The issue is that there is specific instructions for tzit, tzits, and not personal feelings. its a male only command, Benai Sons is not gender neutral. the blue dye is marine, the four cornered garment is a shirt that men wear even today in the middle-east. the shirt is of one material, not mixed fabrics. The verses that gives out the strict guildelines for Tzit, tzits is the more immportant verses later on when more general information is given. Tzits, tzits is not to be on belt loops, bags, bookmarks, etc thats not the instructions.
I understand that is the traditional rabbinic interpretation. I just disagree. www.americantorah.com/2019/10/23/tzitzit-part-1-the-torah-and-the-rabbis/
@@AmericanTorah its not a rabbinic tradition, It is the truth of the issue. The hebrew explains what is just typed up. God explains in the scriptures as a whole on the issue, it takes people years to study through the issue. The issue is that those who have studied deeper into it explains the issue. There is many things not understood without looking into the actual hebrew. English bibles with bad translation spots does not help. theres not anything to disagree about, the hebrew says what it says.
@@johnray1956 It is actually a rabbinic tradition. The issue today is that unless you weave your own clothes, there is no way to incorporate tassels as they would have done 3-4,000 years ago.

It also says that ancient tassels were found of mixed wool and linen. The point is, that 1) the purpose of the tassels is to be understood and applied; 2) the method of applying the commandment as it was done in biblical times is simply not possible with modern clothes, is impractical in industrial application, and thus could only be done by hand woven garments; moreover, the same types of garments are not worn and thus if one were trying to apply the commandment as literally as possible, one would have to wear the same types of garments worn 2-3,000 years ago; and 3) yes, rabbinical teaching has played a large part in how this commandment has been applied over the past few millennia.

@@brandonablack The issue is that Not every claim made is correct. I am not explaining the Rabbinic Tradition. I am only Explaining what God commanded on the issue in light of Scriptural evidence. God explains how he wants it done, adding and takeing away from torah is forbidden. The garments is still made today, A four cornered shirt, Cotton or wool would work just fine. Many Cotton shirts has the sides sewn together. You would just open the corners of the shirt 2-3 inches, and you would have four corners. The issue is that its got to be 100% Cotton, or wool shirt, and not mixed fabrics. Cotton, and wool shirts is sold everywhere.
@@johnray1956 Hey brother. I am all for us all trying our best to follow the commandments as best as we can possibly discern to do. You said, "The garments is still made today." That is simply just not true. We do not make clothes the same way they used to in ancient Israel. Did you read the article? If we wanted to follow the commandment exactly how they did in the ancient world, we would need to braid the blue thread into the warp threads at the four corners of the garment. The common practices today in making tallit are not what they did in the ancient world. That doesn't mean they are wrong, it just means that it's not how it was practiced in ancient times. So we have to make a decision. Do we do it exactly as it was done in ancient times (virtually 0% of people do it this way today), or do we attempt to do it in such a way as it honors the purpose for why YHWH gave the commandment in the first place? It's sort of like Passover and Sukkot. Can we still honor God without going to the temple in Jerusalem? There isn't a temple so we have to reason that the efforts we can make are good enough. Alas, I don't want any of us to get our "feathers ruffled" over this. I certainly don't think of it as one of the "weightier matters of torah." Still discussion is good for that is how we build each other up and help each other better follow torah. Shalom.
Do not forget about the portion of the description that orthodox Jews seem to be ignoring. It says to add one blue thread in the tzitziot.
We haven't forgotten 😂😂😂

But, how is that different than working, let's say sewage? You are still supposed to wear them.
You’re idolizing them.
Tzitzit can be tucked in, they do not have to be out

Sew them on or just use a pin.
You have to wear a four corner garment, pants do not count. I'm actually Jewish and im in shock watching this
