in response to Steven Bell:

In Kabbalah the left side has greater value than the right. Similar to graduating, when one wears a cap and gown, they turn the tassel from the right to the left indicating they have passed a milestone and graduated.

In addition, there is a mathematical formula when you calculate the four crowns + the three crowns it adds up to 613, being the 613 Commandments. Reply
