Classic Jewish prayer shawl from Israel with blue and gold stripes.
Something for follower of Jesus to consider is that Jesus said that HE did not come to do away with the Law but to fulfill it. As an observant Galilean of His day, we can safely assume that He dressed as other religious men of His day and region and wore a tallit – prayer shawl. This would have included tzitzit or tassels on His canaf in fulfillment of God’s command.
As the Bible instructs, an Israelite of that day would have looked at the tassels and thought of the commandments he had to fulfill. As believers, we can look at the tassels and remember the Law of God that Jesus fulfilled for us.

A prayer shawl is a rectangular-shaped piece of linen or wool with special fringes called Tzitzit on each of the four corners.
“You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself.”
(Deuteronomy 22:12)
The purpose of the garment is to hold the Tzitzit. Most tallitot have a neckband, called an Atarah, which most often has the blessing one recites when donning the tallit, embroidered across it.
The blessing in Hebrew recited when putting on a tallis prayer shawl Hebrew.
ברוך אתה ה’ אלוהינו מלך העולם אשר קידשנו במיצוותיו וציוונו על מצוות ציצית
