As we observe the appointed time of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) once again, we remember that YHWH has dwelt (tabernacled) amongst His people in times past, just as He promises to do throughout the ages.

This is a topic that few within christianity have heard of, fewer have any real knowledge of, and almost all would view as not being required for a believer today. It concerns the wearing of tassels/fringes/tzitzit on the corners of our clothing.
