Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua got up and followed him, as did his talmidim. {9:20} Behold, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the tzitziyot of his garment; {9:21} for she said within herself, "If I just touch his garment, I will be made well." When we study the Good News of Redemption accounts of Mattityahu, Mark, and Luke, we find some very interesting verses concerning the fringes. In Hebrew, we say tzitziyot. Specifically, these verses are Mattityahu 9:20; 14:36a, Mark 6:56; and Luke 8:44. Without a shadow of a doubt, they demonstrate that Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua definitely was a Torah-observant Jewish man who kept the Torah commandment to wear tzitziyot in the four corners of his garment as instructed in the Torah in Bemidbar 15:37-41. But what is the purpose of wearing tzitziyot? The purpose is to help remember the mitzvot of HaShem and to perform them. HaShem has given many object lessons to His children so that they (also we) would remember and keep His instructions and another one concerns the wrapping of tefillin. The reason for this mitzva is for shamar v’zachar (remembering, keeping, and observing) His instructions for our lives, that is, the Torah. The Greek word phylakterion has been transliterated into English as the word "phylactery" and literally means a protecting charm or amulet. (remember that Maran Rabbeinu...
