Tzitzit are special fringes or tassels attached to the corners of a garment, traditionally worn by Jewish people. They are often found on a tallit, which is a prayer shawl, and serve as a reminder of the commandments in the Torah. The practice is rooted in biblical texts, specifically in the book of Numbers. The tzitzit consist of a specific number of threads and knots, symbolizing the 613 commandments that observant Jews are encouraged to follow. Wearing tzitzit is a way to fulfill a religious obligation and to maintain a connection to Jewish heritage and spirituality.
