Tzitzit are special fringes or tassels attached to the corners of a Jewish prayer shawl, known as a Tallit. They serve as a reminder of the commandments in the Torah and are worn by observant Jewish men during prayer and religious activities. The Tzitzit consist of a specific number of threads and knots, each symbolizing different aspects of faith and spirituality. The practice of wearing Tzitzit is rooted in the biblical commandment found in Numbers 15:38-40. This commandment instructs the Israelites to wear fringes on the corners of their garments to remember and observe God's laws. Tzitzit are an important part of Jewish identity and tradition.
