Commentary on Parashat Sh'lach, Numbers 13:1-15:41
Every week, Julie Seltzer, artist and scribe, bakes a depicting an aspect of the week’s Torah portion.
They should make fringes on the wings of their garments for all generations, and the fringe of the corner should have a thread of tekhelet. (Numbers 15:38)
וְעָשׂוּ לָהֶם צִיצִת עַל-כַּנְפֵי בִגְדֵיהֶם, לְדרתָם; וְנָתְנוּ עַל-צִיצִת הַכָּנָף, פְּתִיל תְּכֵלֶת
These are challot. As you can see, there is one blue string, the tekhelet–given its color from purple cabbage.
