Cut Tips to Make Eight Separate Threads Before Winding

p. 34 Chapter Eleven   The Strands of the Zizit and how they are Woven

7. Take care to cut the tips of the zizit to make them eight separate threads before winding them together, because if one would wind one segment (of the usual four segments) and tie it, even if only with one proper knot, and afterwards cut the threads apart, the zizit is not valid because of Ta'aseh, veloh min heassuy, as it was made invalidly.  (Sh. Ar. ibid).

We would like to dedicate this learning for the speedy and complete recovery of two people: our friends' 5-year-old son, Joseph Benjamin, son of Ireneusz Khrystof, diagnosed in April with ALL leukemia, and a longtime friend of the family, Frank, son of Joseph, having thyroid surgery soon. Please have them in mind when studying. If you would like updates on their progress, please let me know so I can tell you when I find out from either or both.
