In this video, the method shown for tying tzitzit is that of Nusach Ari. We have also chosen the most common number of wraps/knots. There are, of course, other traditions for tying tzitzit, but we have chosen this one as an example.

The number of wraps/knots symbolize the following: 5 double knots + 8 strands = 13. The numerical value of the word tzitzit is 600. 13+600=613, the rabbinic enumeration of the commandments.

> 7 + 8 = 15, standing for Yod - Hey (10+5)
the first two letters of the Name.

11 = Vav - Hey (6+5), last two letters of the Name


13 = 'echad, Hebrew meaning "one"
(Aleph-Chet-Dalet, 1+8+4 = 13)

Thus, the wraps/knots 7, 8, 11, 13 represent the phrase "Adonai is One."
