Wailing Wall

Devout Jews at the wailing wall.

Tassels – Tallits of blue thread were dyed with the fluid of a small snail and were very expensive.  Jesus’ clothes would have been valuable having these blue tallits, so the Roman soldiers gambled for them.  “The Lord said to Moses, speak to the children of Israel and tell them to attach tassels to the hems of their clothes throughout their successive generations.  Fasten the tassels to the hem with blue thread, and it shall be to you a tassel to look upon and remember all the commandments of the Lord to do them, and they must not let their thoughts and eyes wander free, into all manner of unfaithfulness.”  (Numbers 15:37-39)
