Proverbs 30:11-14 describes a progression of prideful evil beginning with despising your parents at home and ending with tyranny over the weak in the nation. Beware of prideful people. If they don't learn humility soon, their pride will only grow.
Don't be closely associated with them because you will be tempted to adopt their attitudes, and you could eventually be destroyed with them.
It is a commandment for Israelites to wear tassels so that we may look upon them and not forget all the Commandments and remember to refuse the lusts of our hearts.
True, Torah doesn’t say how we must make tassels. It doesn’t tell us how long they have to be or what material they must be made out of, how many knots they must have or what colors they have to be.
We are only told that they must have a thread of techelet running through them. So at least that one must be blue.
When the Torah does not specify detail, we are free to make our own choices…
But should we make our own private choices against the existing tradition?! That is to say, should we act contrary to the choice of those wiser than ourselves who came before us?
Torah, does command we do this in a certain way, but it does command we always exercise wisdom, and that we avoid the appearance of evil in all matters.
When we indulge our private desire to redesign a long standing tradition simply because the Scriptures don’t say we can’t, this is what happens…
Someone has an idea they think is pretty and cool, hip and neat…and off they sprint to implement it carelessly and lacking any tact. No second thoughts. No moment to ponder the impact….Just think it. Feel it. Do it.
These kind of blind renditions shunning traditions create in their recklessness and disregard for good order, abominations like rainbow tzitziot.
The inventor says, “The rainbow belongs to YAH. And it’s a sign of the covenant. And so are tassels.” No duh. But that’s all a faulty syllogism.
Most of the world has never heard of the command to wear tassels. And almost every one knows the rainbow as a sign of queer folk.
You go putting rainbow strings on your clothes and you are going to be having all manner of malapropian conversations you don’t mean to… and in June of all times to do some dumb stuff like that too?!
“Oh but maybe someone will hear and believe and change!”
How many great evils have been begun by someone saying, “Maybe…”?!
You can hope that someone might hear the “good news” but most likely the only thing that will happen is them seeing what you’re doing and not hear a thing other than what they already believe.
And even more likely than them hearing the “good news” from you cuz you are wearing rainbow tzitziot, they will like what they see not for being holy but because it directly reflects their own worldly ways and they will want them too as a queer accessory.
Before you know it you will have begun a new tradition not only for yourself and your selfish desire to adjust the commandment to your ideas but also because others who see the world askew will rightly assume your new tradition is related to their own…and liking what they see will adapt it to themselves…which will in short order standardize their version as a queer representation and render your own notion of rainbow covenantal memorial tassels, simple queer symbols.
This applies to all matters aswell. Don’t just do things. Think it through. Take advise. Try to see through the eyes of others. How will they see your actions? How can your deeds be misconstrued? How can everything go bad very fast?
Think ahead of time and try not to stray too far from tradition, unless there is good cause to do so.

Do tools make the craftsman or does the craftsman use his tools skillfully? Oddly many verses in the Bible are much like Isaiah 44:13,”Another workman uses a line and a compass to draw lines on the wood Then he uses his chisels to cut a statue from wood. He uses his calipers to measure the statue This way, the workman makes the wood look exactly like a man. And this statue of a man sits in the house.” It describes the skillful use of tools to build idols. We know that when the items for the tabernacle were make the craftsmen used tools to to fashion all of the accoutrements for it but when we build an alter no tool is to be used to cut the stone. Tools can be used for good or for evil, what is in the heart of the craftsman determines the outcome.
Thought for Today: Thursday June 05
Movies, TV’s, covers of magazines, the internet, advertisements – all scream sensual messages to us. “If it feels good, do it” has become a worldly motto. Yet, if you talk to people who have come to the Moshiach out of deep sin, they will tell you they wish they had never fallen into such sin, and that they had become believers sooner… The secret of purity is YHVH. When we are committed to the Moshiach, we will step back from everything that is impure. Instead, we will seek a pure heart – a heart that is cleansed by Ruach HaKodesh and the Word of Elohiym.
