The Tallit is a garment worn by those of Jewish faith as a symbol of communal solidarity and devotion to their god. https://www.worldhistory.org/Tallit/ #History #Judaism #Tallit

#Tzitzit are specially knotted ritual fringes worn by observant Jews. The knotting and winding pattern on the strings represents the 613 #mitzvot in the #Torah. They are attached to the four corners of the #tallit (prayer shawl) May they be colored? There is some room for flexibility
