Boro Parks Children Learn About Tzitzis Hands-on at Mefo’ar Judaica
Parshas Shelach teaches us about the mitzvah of tzitzis, and
how they’re intended to remind us of Hashem and his mitzvos. To this end, the cheder
yingelech of Boyan, Ohr Moshe, Ch’san Sofer, Spinka, and Tzehlimer yeshivas
visited the headquarters of Judaica giant Mefo’ar to take a closer look,
connecting with the mitzvah on a deeper level.
Mefo’ar, one of the most prominent names in the Judaica
industry, has their headquarters on Fourteenth Avenue near Fortieth
Street—where a riveting display exhibits the making of tzitzis from start to
finish, from the time the wool is shorn off the sheep, and every step of its
manufacturing, until the wool tzitzis are tied into the woolen begged.
The children were riveted by the details of the magnificence
of the display, and a deeper appreciation for this special mitzvah which they
fulfill every day of their lives.
