==== String Length ==== | |||
# The strings after being tied altogether from the edge of the tzitzit garment to the end of the strings must be 12 fingerbreadths.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 11:4, 11:14, Mishna Brurah 11:66, Halacha Brurah 11:45</ref> | |||
# Ideally, the knots and windings, called ''gedil'' (heb. גדיל; trans. strand) should take up 1/3 of the entire length and the part that is hanging, called ''anaf'' (heb. ענף; lit. branch), from the end of the knots take up 2/3 of the length.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 11:14</ref> | |||
