וְלֹֽא־תָת֜וּרוּ אַחֲרֵ֤י לְבַבְכֶם֙ וְאַחֲרֵ֣י עֵֽינֵיכֶ֔ם translate
And do not stray after your heart and your eyes
אֲנִ֖י הֹ אֱלֹקיכֶֽם׃ translate
I am Hashem your G-d
וְעָשׂ֨וּ לָהֶ֥ם צִיצִ֛ת translate
and make for them Tziztis
How does seeing the Tzitzis help us remember the mitzvot (613!)?
Tzitzis=600 +8 strings + 5 knots = 613
Why does the Torah specifically mention not to stray after our heart and eyes?
They are the spies for our body before we do an avarah
What does the name Hashem mean and why does it say I am Hashem (the first Rashi, not the long one!)?
Hashem= mercy because He is faithful to give reward
What does the name Elokim mean and why does it say I am Elokim?
Elokim= judgement because He is faithful to punish
Whats the connection between Taking us out of Mitrayim and being our G-d?
He took us out ON CONDITION we will keep His decrees
What is techilet?
a blue string (from the chilazon fish) that's on tzitzis
Why does it saw “אֲנִ֖י הֹ אֱלֹקיכֶֽם׃” twice?
To prove we must listen to the mitzvot, it's not a choice!
Whats the connection between Tzitzis and Hashem taking us out of Mitrayim?
Just like Hashem knew who was the firstborn, He'll know if its true techilet
Where did we mention? Spies?
The eyes and heart are the spies for the body
Where did we mention? Shabbos?
Shabbos is equal to all the mitzvot (how connects to the man cutting trees before)
Where did we mention? The firstborns?
Hashem knew if it was a firstborn, so too with techilet
Where did we mention? The chilazon fish?
Techilet is from there!
Why do we put tzitzis on a 4 cornered garment?
To remind us of the Arba leshonos of geula( 4 ways of saying Hashem redeemed us)
