R’ Shmuel Ariel Tying

R’ Shmuel Ariel Tying 1200 1600 Rafi Hecht

Krechnif Tying Method

Krechnif Tying Method 3024 4032 Rafi Hecht

The Krechnif tying method is very similar to Belzer Chulyos, but the difference is that when looping the Shamash through the middle, one loops it twice over. It’s almost like a windsor tie knot versus half a windsor.

R’ Yissachar Dov from Belz

R’ Yissachar Dov from Belz 3024 4032 Rafi Hecht

The Magen Avraham of Trisk holds that the chulyos need to start full after each double knot, as opposed to completing the previous Chulya broken off.

Baal Hanefesh

Baal Hanefesh 250 1111 Rafi Hecht

This uses a variation of Raavad tying. It’s al pi Kabbala 7-7-7-7 but the second chulya is all white, since the Techeiles ones are Domeh L’Rakia/Shamayim, and the remainder makes it add up to 28 which has some Koach. Some Yemenite Jews will also do 28 (even though 26 is YKVK) since there is some…
