Question
Hello Rabbi, I am making tzitzit, and sometimes I don't get the exact number of windings, sometimes a little less or a little more. Do I need to be precise about the exact number or not?
Answer
Shalom and blessings,
The Gemara states that there should be no fewer than seven and no more than thirteen windings. Therefore, in the first knot, make at least seven, and in the last, ensure there are no more than 13. The exact number of the other windings is not critical.
