Section 38

This is what is found in the Zohar and the Writings: tzitzis correspond to Pesukei D'Zimra . It explains there how one rectifies and elevates the four worlds through action and speech, and that tzitzis correspond to the world of Yetzirah , which is the aspect of Pesukei D'Zimra . For tzitzis are the thread of Chesed upon which the song and niggun of the future will be played — from which all songs and melodies are drawn — which is the aspect of Pesukei D'Zimra .

Therefore there are four tzitzis corresponding to the four letters of הוי״ה — the aspect of the shir pashut, kaful, meshulash, meruba [simple, double, triple, quadruple song] equaling 72 — the song of the future, the thread of Chesed , the threads of tzitzis . For the mitzvah of tzitzis is in the aspect of simple, double, triple, quadruple: first one takes four simple threads — the simple song; then one folds them through the corner — the double song; then one ties and winds them, making them triple (one-third gadil and two-thirds anaf ) — the triple song; and doing this in all four corners — the quadruple song. Thus tzitzis allude to the simple, double, triple, quadruple song — for from there is their root.

This is the aspect of the 39 windings that equal " Hashem Echad " — "Hashem is One" — as is brought. For the essential tzitzis are to draw the completeness of emunah , the aspect of " Hashem Echad " — the essence of emunah . As brought in the Tikkunim: tzitzis are the aspect of emunas hayichud [the faith of the unity] , the aspect of Shema Yisrael .

Therefore the tzitzis are 32 threads — the aspect of the totality of the Torah, which begins with the ב of Bereishis and ends with the ל of l'einei kol Yisrael . For tzitzis are the aspect of emunah , the totality of the Torah from Bereishis to l'einei kol Yisrael . Therefore the Torah begins: " Bereishis bara Elokim es hashamayim v'es ha'aretz " — to make known that the foundation and beginning of the entire Torah is through emunah in the renewal of the world — believing that Hashem created the heavens and the earth yeish me'ayin hamuchlat [something from absolute nothing] . This is the foundation of the entire Torah: " Ba Chavakuk v'he'emidan al achas — v'tzaddik be'emunaso yichyeh " (Makkos 24a) ; " Kol mitzvosecha emunah ." This one merits through tzitzis — therefore they are 32 threads, corresponding to the totality of the Torah from ב of Bereishis to ל of l'einei kol Yisrael .
