Essene Tzitzit
Essene Tzitzit
Rambam
Shalom aleikhem Yeshua,
In correspondence a while back with Zakan Rabban Mar Ruben Yaza I
asked if there was a definitive on tzitzit for JingJiao Assembly.
I asked if I used 14 hulya, one for each of the daily declarations
is ok. He said it sounded good. I have a passion for tassels (me
really like them) so I came up with a prototype (really do not
like that word, but lack a better one) and would like to submit it
to you and the Beit Knushta.
Is this method acceptable --
14 hulya
First and last white
Three threads folded over to make six
One blue
I plan on making what ever is approved as our Halakha for those
who want some. No charge to members of Essene Hasid.
May Alhym bless you.
Sincerely,
Nektaros Markus
The design of tzitzit provided by Nektaros
Markus appears to be identical with that of Mar Ya'aqub explained
in Derekh d'Kehilla.
There is no particular stipulation concerning the actual
color of blue.
The Beit Knushta plans to discuss the possibility of having all
assemblies adopt this ancient form of the tzitzit. Our
appreciation goes to Nektaros Markus for his work.
