The garment surrounds our body, the fringes hang off it. They represent the two aspects of G-d's being: His true self that is totally beyond our grasp, and the tiny fraction of His being we can experience

I enjoyed the article, but am wondering why is this a time-bound commandment that women are exempt from?

I don't know why regarding restrictions for Tallit and women but I do know a woman does not really miss out on anything because she experiences the love, joy and oneness of God when her husband takes her back into himself.

Since the main idea of Jewish prayer is to connect with G-d (though this should be impossible), G-d gives us worldly expressions of Himself to help us achieve this connection. Whether through the beauty of a landscape or a song, these tiny reflections of G-dliness help us hold on to the fringes of G-d’s robes, so to speak. Not to spoil the pure joy of your show, and the hilarity that always ensues, but your show is yet another reminder of this connection. Our family loved how the fringe guy was compelled (hilariously) to try to remember what his reminder was supposed to remind him of and the ultimate triumph (also hilarious) of Itche and Jono helping him to remember the mitzvo of remembering with the fringes of a tallis. GO IKS!!!

The talit symbolises God arround us who are like babies inside his belly. Man have to wear talit to atain a grisp of this aspect of G´d, but women already knows somehow what it is.

Being a writer of fiction I know the connection between the artist creation an the whole of creation by G-d. No matter what kind of art we use we literally imitate G-d by creating a universe. That universe has surprises. Yet, we still put all of our being into the work. WE imitate G-d, but we can't duplicate G-d's creation.

There was "no effort" in the Tzimtzum ? The Limitation ? There was probably a ton of efforts there!
