Re: <<"Tzitzis" is found four times in Tanach (according to
Mandelkern). Three times in the Shma, and once in Yechezkel
8:3. All four have only one yod, the first one. Does that
prove anything>>
Sure it does. It proves that gematriot are fun . they have
no serious significance. They are not meant to decide
halakha. They are meant to enjoy the amazing coincidences
that can be found by human ingenuity. As the mishna says:
tekufot ugematriot, parp'raot l'chokhma
Didn't I write in my post, as introduction to 28 = koach,
"that, however, proves nothing"?
