I just started going to a Messianic Synagogue in June 2019 after someone on YT taught a message on The 10 Commandments. He said God didn't say best 9 out of 10, and that was like a stab in the heart. For a year I was attending the first Synagogue that I visited. It really wasn't that much different from my Christian Church experience. Nobody ever wore a tzitzit. They didnt display the Torah. They didn't read all the prayers, etc. ect. ect. Now for the last 3 months I've been at a Synagogue that does all of that and so much more... I love it!
That’s wonderful. But I wonder if the strings they wear are blue and white, or just blue.
We were told, the strings are to be blue. Blue. We are told not to add to or subtract from the Scriptures.
I make my own. tzit tzit as I couldn’t find any to purchase that didn’t have the traditions of men white strings.
Yeh there are 3 types of messianic jews...
1. Basically christian and have no idea what there doing
2. Jewish wanna be
3.real messianic who care about. the torah and understand the. importance of Gods laws.
Amazon has them @@Isaiah-kg8rj

Only 41 comments. That's how I know the topic was.going to be truthful. Thank you brother. I am new to this path and your teaching is insightful. May Yah shine his face upon you.
Excellent break down of the tzitzits 📖♥️💯🙌
Do you wear tzittzits brother? I’m going to be honest I’m feeling like I should but I’m afraid of being judged by my people and being called a hypocrite. I’m learning more about Torah and keep commandments and Torah.
@@moejr14 yes I do, for quite sometime now, although I can still remember at times being a little intimated when I first started wearing them, it wouldn't make you a hypocrite at all, we are supposed to grow in grace so even if there's other commandments we should be keeping that we're not aware of that doesn't mean doing this because it has been brought to our attention is hypocrisy. You can do do it family 💪 also I have a teaching on them if you'd like to watch, may The Most High bless you and guide you 🙏 💯♥️📖
@@seekingGODs-YHWHsTruth144K am I breaking the commandment if I don’t wear it properly?
@@codyalexander3290 I think it's more about the intent, I know some wear 4 tassels while others wear fringes surrounding their entire shirt (4 corners of our garment) and I personally think both are fine 💯❤️📖🗡
@@seekingGODs-YHWHsTruth144K I’m so conflicted. I’m not a scholar or an expert in Hebrew or Greek but I read psalms a lot and I believe there are a ton of prophecies that yeshua fulfilled and I believe there are other verses that when read seem to indicate more prophecies of things that weren’t interpreted.. I’m not interpreting them but there are tons of verses that talk about the proud and the heritage being defiled and things like that sort that seem to me are bluntly talking about early Christianity not the first few hundred of years where research shows they kept their “Jewish roots” but the years around Constantine. Also “the way” is mentioned a lot in psalms and Paul said he was of the way. Am I misunderstanding some things?
An outstanding video teaching something that I never knew before, MAY YAH BLESS!
Thank you , you hrlped me have a better understanding concerning the wearing of tzitzits.
I love this,
Thank you, this was very helpful.
Thank You shalom.
Ty .,well said.... ty again 😊
👍..I will go simple.
Thank you.
I got a piece of elestic and hooped each tassle on and sewed a hook and eye on from my old bra. This lets me put the elestic on and off and I can adjust to make sure the tassles 2 in the front and 2 in the back 2 on left 2 on the right.
I've been making my own tzitziyot, as well as for my grandchildren for a few years. Scripture doesn't tell us they're not for all of Yah's people, nor did Yah give an expiration date for them. Throughout the generations....
FYI, to conjugate the word tzitzit in Hebrew, we can't just anglicize it and put an "s" on the end. Plural is tzitziyot. ;)
exactly...
We are grafted into Israel not Israel grafted into Christianity!
Respectfully, that is false.
@@jk7197 No, we're not grafted into Israel! Israel is a nation, a people, elected by God to be His beloved, and ultimately to bring Him glory through their future redemption. The Mosaic Covenant was made 'Exclusively with them'. Tzitzit was a symbolic image of that Covenant. A Covenant that was broken as Jeremiah states in Jer. 31:31, and that no one today is under. If you belong to Christ, you belong to the Covenant made with Abraham. One of faith, not works and man-made traditions. The Apostles go to great lengths regarding this perception, as I imagine you're aware of based on your comment, but one that is missed and redefined by those who call themselves "Torah observant". As a Jew, I call them "Stolen Valor".
Hi! I’m sure nobody will convince you, but I wanted to point out that salvation a has ALWAYS been through faith! Abraham was obedient to the commands of God directly, by his faith. The Torah was given by God to be set-apart. The New Covenant in Jeremiah and Hebrews also says “Instead, this is the covenant I will make with the HOUSE OF ISRAEL (not house of gentile) after those days” - the Lord’s declaration. “I will PUT MY TEACHING WITHIN THEM and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will one teach his neighbor....” Are we still teaching people? Partial fulfillment?
The desire in are hearts is what has changed, not the Law! It went from written to within us. If your desire isn’t for God’s Law I strong encourage you to examine your faith through prayer, laying down precepts of men.
Answering the important questions that are relevant to our world today.
I sure hope you brothers rock them yourselves instead of encouraging others to do so but feeling like you are educated in the Torah enough that you don't need the reminder let's always lead by example 💯♥️📖
I'm sure he does....if he's teaching it
I remember watching a video online about Murex trunculus years ago called, "the Mystery Of Techelet" (there was like two or three parts, if I remember correctly?) it helps bring visualization to what you spoke of in your video. God bless you.
Hey guys!
I have a question for you. I hope this isn't a dumb question. So, I completely agree with people wearing tassels. It was a commandment given to his people that we should continue throughout all generations. However, I had a question about the color of the tassels. I found information on the threaded color actually being a violet (purple) instead of blue. My dad also taught me that purple was a color royal kings wore back in that time period. I could be off but I wanted to hear your thoughts?
I found this information when looking up the strongs number in blue letter bible for the verse in Numbers 15:38 where it talks about the color of the thread in the tassels. The strongs number was H8504. The description stated this...
"I. violet, violet stuff
A. violet thread
B. violet stuff or fabric
II. (TWOT) blue (covering spectrum from brilliant red through deep purple)"
Just let me know! I just want to make sure I get this right before doing this. You guys are one of the few that I look up to when it comes to knowledge and opinions involving biblical stuff. Thanks!
Hey there what did you find out!? Blue or purple 🙏
can you share the source / artist of the painting of women wearing tzitzit (minute 6:19) as a jewish woman who has never worn tzitzit, i’m so fascinated by this!!
Thank you for this message, may Yahuah bless you ♥️, just in case you don't know Yahuah is the creators true name and the messiahs name is Yahusha. Please accept the true names and repent 🥺, we are running out of time, love you all❤️

Blessings to you and yours.
That's not the right names
And look at the video you post that doesn't represent the Most High how can people take what you say seriously 😒
Thank you for this informative study. However I notice many Torah followers that fail to wear the prescribed Tzitzits and instead wear a Cord Bracelet made with the same colors as the Tzitzit shown in this video and written in the Torah. I have not read in any passage of the Torah that blue threaded bracelets were allowed to be substituted. Any thoughts?
@119Ministries - thank you for this informative video. If my Tzitzit's have two blue threads, is that a problem considering this is not a singular thread?
Wonder if it would be OK to get a set of these tassels and turn them into bracelets and anklets to wear??? I'm thinking this would be more practical and safe for little children. Any thoughts?
I would encourage others to really look into the word Tekhelet which is translated simply to blue in Numbers 15:38. There's a good possibility that a general blue is not what was used and that Tekhelet translates into an actual shade of blue rather than just a general blue. There is strong evidence for this (imho) including a fragment that was found and tested. A few Google searches will get you started. Of course, it could be wrong but the evidence is convincing to me. Tzitzit with this exact dye is sold online so it's worth a look.
As the scripture said..."to children of Israel" am I included in this commandment and wear them too?
I used to wear them daily but I have slowly stopped wearing them due to People bringing shame to the name of YAH and his people.
This is a serious commitment and I have seen many take it for granted and now I get associated with people that are Not of the spirit.
May Yah help us all :(
if Jesus brought up teffilin and did not correct the practice just the size does that mean we should just be careful not to make it bold and self righteous
So since there is is nothing mentioned about the other colors we can choose that ourself?
Must the Tzitzits be made of Cotton/wool/Linen? Has anyone got a definitive answer on this..
The commandments don't say what fabric the tzitzits should be made of, but I think it should be made of the same fabric as the garment that you put the tzitzit on because of the commandment in the Torah in
Deuteronomy 22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
7:38 - I read Deut. 22:12 to instruct EACH person to make their OWN tzitzits... "...make yourself..." Please, advise.
yes
@@DeborahE7 Guess that might be ONE reason, Praise Yah! Thank you, ma'am for sharing!
Yes but you got to make sure it's on 4 corners
He said the children of Israel not only a man but all Yehovah children..man always change God orders to what convenience them if God said tell the children of Israel it's everybody,,, man woman and child
Question: I’m an RN. So as a nurse I’m in close contact with patients- wound cares, hygiene cares. Would it be appropriate to wear zitzit that could be in contact with body fluids, etc?
Shalom Shabbat
Simply put as far as external wearing of Tzitzit probably for Infectious control it wouldn’t be Wise!
You could always wear them on an undergarment or maybe in your pocket but I believe it would certainly be Unwise to wear your Tzitzit on your outfit externally.
Shalom Shabbat ricky jenkins Doulos to the House of YAH!
Los tzit tzis no son para que los demás lo vean, estos los llevas dentro de sus propias ropas
If possible, you can tuck your tzitziyot into your waistband so it will not contact fluids. 🙏
Brother I wear a dress can I put it on that?
I attach mine with safety pins to the bottom of my dress.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I am thinking I would like one with blue for the ten commandments, and another with a red one to represent the Blood of Yeshua, shed for my sins.
Torah only reveals that it must have one cord of t’keleth (specific shade of blue, as t’keleth is a pigment/pigment) in Numbers 15:37-41. It’s similar to the sea and sky-the color of the Throne of God. 🙏
I like your idea of the red thread-I’m adding one thread of olive-gold and green in my tzitziyot along with three white. The gold color is for the glory of God and the Light of men, as “the glory of God illuminates the lamp, and the Lamb is the lamp (Rv 21:23);” the green is for the earth that the Lord has made alongside the heavens, the sea, and everything in them.
Can they be tucked in?
why is it okay for using an animal/ creature that is unclean for the dye???
For the same reason that a donkey or a horse is unclean for EATING but not for LABOR. The snail is unclean for EATING. Here's a question for you to consider ... why does G0D use UNCLEAN humanity to glorify His HOLY Name?
It's unclean to eat, not to use for dye.
Do you believe story about Noah
Azul celeste, no otro azul
shalom brother.
the colour is blue or purple ?
He said blue
Telekhet translates to violet.
Check Strongs.
How is this commandment in Numbers 15 fulfilled? Even the prophets speak of the fulfillment thereof , fulfillment proven by Elyon Almighty One's own Law, is something being abolished then when you have no tassels seen by men? Walk out the fulfillment not foreshadow, or is somenone on two roads at the same time. The road of Spirit and flesh at same time? Do you know why tassels on border garment points to commandments? Tassel, border, Remembrance?
As I understand it, the Jewish argument against using just any blue is that the scripture does not say a "blue" thread or Kakhol thread, it says a tekhelet thread and so a blue thread made with a different dye would not be tekhelet and therefore not in line with the commandment.
As a Christian who thinks thinks one of Christ's central teachings is that you should have a less legalistic reading of the Torah, as in Mark 2:27, I disagree, but it's a solid argument if you take that approach, that the laws of the Torah must be followed to the literal word.
Do we have to wear tzitzit if we’re not a Jew? It says “people of Israel”. I’m genuinely curious about this. Are we all people of Israel? Members of the house of Israel?

I’ll check it out as well
We are grafted in to Israel by our faith in Yeshua. Therefor we become children of God, the children of Israel.
Could you technically jus wear one blue string?
I think so
But definitetly do your own biblical research
I may be wrong
Why does the Hebrew say violet and not blue?
Wouldnt it not be Yahweh but Yahuwah and not Yeshua but Yahusha???
Shalom Jk play,
We have a series on this very subject that you may be interested in watching and testing. You can find part 1 here: www.119ministries.com/teachings/video-teachings/detail/hashem-part-1-whats-in-a-name/

You are missing some info regarding women wraring tzitzit, try going to un derthecl ouddo tc a, i'd spell it normal but the comment would disappear then, read the post on tzitzit
I don't understand why as a Christian you are trying to keep a law written for Israel.
Hebrews 10:16-26
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. If the love of God is in you, you will keep his Laws
Romans 11
Isaiah 56:1-8 and Romans 11
““You are light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Likewise, when people light a lamp, they don’t cover it with a bowl but put it on a lampstand, so that it shines for everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they may see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven. “Don’t think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete. Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah - not until everything that must happen has happened. So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness is far greater than that of the Torah-teachers and P’rushim, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven!”
Mattityahu (Mat) 5:14-20
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit inside you; I will take the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit inside you and cause you to live by my laws, respect my rulings and obey them.”
Yechezk'el (Ezk) 36:26-27
Jesus is the Living Torah-the Living Word of God 😍
Question... I know that many Christians would say that the reason they don't wear Tzitzit, is because they belong to the new covenant (Jer. 31:31) and that they have the Holy Spirit to remind them to follow the commandments. From what I can tell, the view of Messianic/Hebrew Roots/etc. , is that Yeshua Himself wore them and had the Spirit, as did the prophets, so we should as well. My question...Being that the new covenant came into effect upon the fulfillment upon the cross, naturally to be in fulfillment of the law, Yeshua would have worn tzitzit prior to the fulfillment. "For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished". . But what is the argument that one has to wear them today since the law and prophets were fulfilled? I do understand that some believe that the statement regarding the fulfillment means something different to some believers, then completed/fulfilled, accomplished, which is what the word means in Greek and Hebrew. That to some this means He (Yeshua) meant He wasn't ending the old covenant but fulfilling its requirements. However, does this mean that those who attest to this, believe they also have to eternally hate Caananites, Ammonites, Philistines, Babylonians, Assyrians (basically their descendants). Or that no one is allowed to live in Egypt? That we are to snap the neck of a heifer if theirs an unsolved murder in their town? Need to send women away during their menstrual cycle? Kill mystics and other commands found in the Torah. Clearly, not all the law is still in effect, as it would be impossible to love your neighbor while holding an eternal grudge against them. I'm trying to find good info on why we need to wear tzitzit today. Thank you
You need to understand the difference between the law of Moses, and the 10 commandment of God.
@@RB-sz9gv I know full well what the Law was, I am of the Tribes of Levi and Judah. The Law was a Covenant made with my people (Exclusively)! Tzitzit were a reminder of that Covenant. The Law was not, is not, relevant to non-Israelites. The Ten Commandments were the motivation for the Law of Moses and the traditions of men that came out of them. But it is all immaterial, as Christ brought to fruition the Law. No one today is under the Law! A new Covenant has been given to the (Entire) world, through Yeshua, just as the Prophets declared, and just as the Apostles declared.
@@YaakovBuchner your ancestry is irrelevant to God as there is neither Jew, nor gentile there is Israel of the flesh, and Israel of the spirit-Christians there are no laws just for Israelites or Jews or Greeks or Africans or Mexicans, etc.
@@RB-sz9gv They're no Laws of Moses period! And no, you are not "Grafted" into the Covenant made with Moses and my ancestors. There is no "Israel" in the spirit,! There is "Neither Jew nor Gentile" regarding Christ's Covenant, presented to all who receive Him.
@@YaakovBuchner I’m afraid the Bible disagrees with you. But believe whatever you want, but being ancestrally Jewish is completely and totally irrelevant to God and really to humanity.
The law of Moses was abolished at the cross, and not applicable to Christians! Not sure why this is difficult for your ministry to understand?
Your statement goes against scripture and is just not logical. If those laws were “abolished” as you say then it’s ok to murder and commit adultery. Explain that …
@@LeonTheLion-777 the law of MOSES “added because of transgressions” was abolished NOT the Ten Commandment Law of God.
Wearing tzitits requires you to believe that YAHOVAH is God alone. Believing that a man or messiah is God is idolatry.
Exo 20:2 I am YHWH thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Torah never tells us to worship, believe in or follow the commandments of a man. We/ you are commanded to follow the commandments of YAHOVAH and are reminded of our obedience to worship His name alone as we wear the tzitzit. Worshiping any other name as God is again idolatry. Torah commands us to NOT worship other gods but this is what you are teaching and it is contradictory to Gods commandment.
Have you noticed that in the new twistament jesus never teaches others to wear tzitzit?
Who said that a man was “god”
@@kyleamerica5522 Jesus himself thought that he was like God or equal to God as the form of God on earth. No human being that was ever born or died like all other human beings will or do cannot be like God. He nor anyone else can claim equal status with the one who created him.
@@jameshayden8789 Actually, read his words for yourself. He always points people to his Father and says he is One and only He is great. He refers to himself as the Son of God. He speaks what His Father tells him to speak and teaches the doctrine of His Father. Would like to encourage you to read it for yourself. 😀
You shouldn't say the name of the Lord!
What scriptures say this? The only time I have seen anything similar said in scripture is when it is used in vain.
Why would the Father repeatedly say, ‘call My Name’ all through Scripture then?
This idea came from Rabbinic tradition, not Scripture; however, if one would offend others by saying the Name, we should love our neighbors enough to control our tongues...🙏🏻
Joel 2:32 (KJV)
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahuah shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Yahuah hath said, and in the remnant whom Yahuah shall call.
Acts 2:21 (KJV)
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahuah shall be saved.
Romans 10:13 (KJV)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of Yahuah shall be saved.
Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV) Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
@@shabbatsongs4801 Who would YOU rather offend? Or ... who do YOU obey? If He tells you do to something, my exhortation is to DO IT. LET HIM worry about your obedience causing offense. How about that?
I call our Creator Abba tov = Good Father. I dont use names because I never called my human father Thomas. And to me if I call God by just a name, in my mind it sets limits for me about God and He is completely limitless we have no idea.
NO NEED TO FOLLOW THE LAW OF MOSES ABOLISHED AT THE CROSS
Right so your free to murder then .. see how that works out for ya
There is NO need to keep the law of Moses ABOLISHED at the cross.
Jesus didn’t come to abolish the law but to fulfill it (Matt 5:17). Christ still observed feasts and followed the law of Moses, as seen throughout the entire New Testament. If Jesus follows the law, and we are trying to be more like Him, shouldn’t we? Following the law is not the root of our salvation, but the fruit of our salvation. It allows us to connect on a deeper level to God by being obedient to what He commands. In Matt 5:8 it says until the heaven and earth pass away, not a jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law until all has been fulfilled. Jesus hasn’t come back yet and the heaven and earth haven’t passed away, so these laws still remain. Ultimately, you’re saved by grace through faith, confessing that Jesus is Lord but as Christians shouldn’t we always be striving to get to know Him better and be more like Him to serve others well through His word? Great fruit is produced from these laws, and I encourage you to consider that. All love friend, may God bless you.
Also, can I ask why you’re so resistant to the laws? God placed them to set the Israelites apart from the other nations and to make sure that they were safe. As Christians we are called to be set apart, which is a beautiful thing. If people follow these as Christians, why does that bother you?
@@kyliechaulk7569 the law of Moses, was abolished at the cross. The law of Moses was added because of transgressions, and handwritten by Moses written in a book, placed at the side of the ark, contrary to us, Grevious, contained in ordinances. The 10 commandment law of God is now written on our heart as the New Covenant. Look up those Bible quotes and we will come to agreement.
@@kyliechaulk7569 we are as Christians to follow the law of God, as spiritual Israel, as true Israel, but the law of Moses, which is not the Ten Commandment law of God was abolished at the cross.
