Day 19 - #obediencechallenge - Tzitzits

If you want to know what this is all about, see my intro post at 30 Days to Better Faith.

Do you remember those fancy WWJD bracelets?

Well, did you know that the Bible actually already had a form of this? The original "WWJD bracelet" were tzitzits (ZEET-ZEETS).

See Numbers 15:38-39:

"Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout their generations they are to make tassels for the corners of their garments, and put a blue cord on the tassel at each corner. These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the Lord’s commands and obey them and not become unfaithful by following your own heart and your own eyes."

Pretty cool, huh?

Here's a short (4min) video discussing tzitzits:
And concerning whether women should wear them, or just men:
Tzitzits come in all types of colors and patterns. The only requirement is that they have some blue in them.
