Description
The mitzvah (commandment) to wear fringes is found in the book of Numbers (15:37-41). We are told to "look at them to remember all the commandments of God and to do them." This passage has become part of the Shema, a declaration of faith in and love for God, which we read every morning and evening.

Such a beautiful image. It has a softness about it, but an inner power from the meaning behind it! vf
