Another thing to think about is that God defines blue as the frequency of visible light from 606-668 THz (Tera Hertz). Technically God designed this as blue in the physical universe so as long as there are four threads within this frequency you should be good.

Checks out blue! Akshully, my Tzitzit with Techelet strings are late arriving. I'm guessing our post office probably delivered them to the wrong place. They are known for that here ...

What verse was that? Oh yeah, a blue thread added to the ones there. So, unless you are blind or color blind blue is blue. If you feel led to get what you believe is the closest to the blue used in the original fulfillment of this command, that is fine but you should also consider fulfilling all other commands as literally as you possibly can. Just don't force any requirements on anyone seeking to be observant. Micha'el

I agree that we are to be a witness for the Jews-I have no problem with that, and I use every opportunity that YaH gives me. But what I do have a problem with is following along with someone who has "added or subtracted" from YaH's commandments. If YaH says to wear tassels, for instance, which He did, then where exactly did it come from to "tie" them? There is no commandment to tie them at all-the commandment is simply to wear tassels. So many Jews say that it has to be tied a certain way in order to be correct. That is false....it is adding to YaH's simple command to wear tassels. I do tie mine, but not in any certain way. I do wear a blue thread in mine, because the command says to. I know that if the color blue is not the right color, then YaH will let me know in some way. Why should we go along with wrong doctrines, just to be a witness? Isn't it better to show someone that their beliefs are adding to YaH's command?

Why should we go along with wrong doctrines, just to be a witness? Isn't it better to show someone that their beliefs are adding to YaH's command? What size fringe should it be? What direction is given on how the threads are to be woven? Point is you are doing the exact same thing that you are attacking. There is nothing wrong with tying it any certain way. The meaning behind the tying of the tzitzit is a great tradition and has some great meaning but it does not mean it is the only way, you are right about that. The taking away from the command is not wearing the blue. We are to be a good witness and that does not give us the right to be puffed up and prove to them we have done it right and they are wrong but rather to learn from each-other. Most people never wore tzitzit unless they were Jewish and now everyone who comes to thinks they know more about it than the Jewish people. They are not adding to the commands by doing such anymore than you have within your own point. Yeshua never attacked the way they were tied and if we are to walk in His example I don't think we should be attacking such things also. It is not making a command void in any way by doing such so no sin has been done, clear as that. Yedidyah
