Tzitzit Project is a community-based initiative dedicated to expanding Jewish spiritual practice with an inclusive design approach to a traditional ritual garment—the tallit katan.
What are tzitzit?
You shall make tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself.
Tzitzit are the fringes traditionally worn on a four-cornered undershirt to remind one of the divine presence in daily life. Though historically wearing tzitzit has been a ritual practiced by Orthodox cis-men, halacha (Jewish law) does not bar women or gender non-conforming Jews from wearing tzitzit.
In ancient times, garments often consisted of simple rectangular cloths with four corners, in which tzitzit were easily tied. Since we no longer wear four-cornered garments, a special garment known as a tallit katan, also referred to as tzitzit, is now worn in order to fulfill this mitzvah.
