The origin of the commandment to wear a prayer shawl is in the book of Numbers and Deuteronomy, in the old testament. Here, Moses commands to put tassels on the four corners of their garments. Christians are not required to follow this rule out suggestion, but many find significant meaning and inspiration in donning the prayer shawl with the tassels, following Yeshua's example in prayer.
