What Good is a “Fringe”?

In prayer, observant Jews often wear a prayer shawl, or “tallit”. The most important part of the tallit is the fringe of strings and knots at each end of the shawl. These are meant to remind the wearer of his religious obligations… a fringe that calls us back to our obligations and the deeper meanings of our moral values – that is something to celebrate.
