In Numbers 15:38, God spoke to Moses and gave specific instructions for His chosen people:

"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel.  You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by going after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes.  . . .’”

The garment mentioned in this passage is known as the tallit, commonly known today as a “prayer shawl”.

In this insightful teaching, Bishop Jim Lowe gives us a greater understanding of how the tallit can be used as a valuable prayer tool for today’s Christians.
