On the tallit, the prayer shawl

 

"This, too, was the Lord’s word to Moses, 'Bid the Israelites pass blue cords through the corners of their cloaks, and hang tassels on them; reminding themselves, as they look on these, of all the commandments the Lord has given them. They must not let their thoughts and eyes wander free, into all manner of unfaithfulness, but rather bethink them of the Lord’s decrees and carry them out, a people set apart for their God; and that God the Lord, who brought them out of the land of Egypt to make them his own people." - Numbers, 15: 37-41

More information here. It's all wonderful.
