That’s just…madness. xD

The only correct word for it XD

That’s the kinda stuff that I have a hard time finding out if they kept through the middle ages. For the most part, I think the average Jew did not (usually due to assimilation), but it’s difficult to find out for sure.

Whoa, hold on. I’m going to contradict you on this one 🙂

I don’t have any specific sources for how it would have worked in the middle ages, but there’s an important destinction that makes me think that they would have worn it.

Tzit-tzit aren’t tradition or custom or culture, they’re a commandment. (Num 15:37-41 and Deut 22:12)

Despite assimilation, Jews were still keeping commandments and living under the law, they would consider it a sin not to wear tzitzit.

(Besides that, since this is after the codifying of the Talmud, they would be tied in the traditional way already.)

This would technically be more strict than something like women covering their hair, since it’s not open for interpretation.

Because it’s a given commandment, I also wear them, actually.

Okay, thank you for coming to my Ted-talk XD

I won’t go into it much (theology talk and all   ),  but it had to do with several scenes where Jesus ‘practiced’ his sermons and seemed to be struggling with the tasks he had to do (there was also one where it seemed that he was trying to persuade John the Baptist not to berate Herod, which I thought was unnecessary fictionalization and could be taken badly).

That’s an interesting observation! I noticed it as well. I think it was a choice, and I can see why they made it and don’t have any biblical evidence to contradict them.

It basically comes into trying to show Jesus’ divinity and humanity at the same time, showing him to be fully human and fully God at the same time. It’s a hard balance, and I like the way they did it, but I can see why you might not. I do see what you mean.
