Speak unto B’nei Yisrael, and bid them that they make them throughout their generations fringes in the corners of their garments...And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of God, and do them.
--NUMBERS 15:38-39
The Prayer Shawl is made up of two components; the garment, and the fringes- in Hebrew, tzitzit. The garment which surrounds the worshipper represents God who is constantly surrounding each and every one of us. The fringes hanging off of the garment are composed of a series of 613 knots. These fringes serve as a reminder of the 613 Biblical commandments. For these reasons, wearing a tallit is the ultimate way to heighten your prayer experience and connection to God. https://www.israel365.com/store/judaica/navy-blue-silver-prayer-shawl/#taJw3fmjRem5BcD1.99
