What does the windings of the Tzitzit mean?
Here we explain about Tzitzit Windings. There are several explanations for the specific winding pattern of the Tzitzit. According to one interpretation each set of the 7-8-11-13 windings stands for one letter of God’s name. Another explanation is linked to Gematria, Jewish numerology, according to which each Hebrew letter has a numeric value: aleph is 1, bet is 2, gimmel is 3, and so on. Therefore numbers can be linked to letters and given a special meaning. The numbers 15 (which are the first sets of the Tzitzit 7 and 8 added together) and 11 form the letters of God’s holy name.
