All males are required to attach tzitzit (fringes) to the corners of their four-cornered garments. One of the fringes on each corner is to be dyed with techelet (a special blue dye).
This mitzvah commands that any four-cornered garment worn by a Jew must have tzitzit — fringes — attached to its corners. A thread of techelet (blue wool) was included in Temple times, symbolizing the heavens and Hashem’s throne. The Tzitzit serve as a reminder of all the commandments, ensuring that every Jew, upon seeing them, recalls to live faithfully and avoid sin.
