What are the fringes called on the tallit?

First of all, the term fringes is a bit misleading since a tallit almost always has a decorative fringe along the two sides. A better term is tassels, which are tied to all four corners of the tallit. They are called tzitzit (or tzitzis or tsitsit or tsitsis) and they are the tallit's raison d'etre. Tzitzits are a biblical requirement for Jewish men when wearing a four-cornered garment. Since four-cornered garments are rarely worn today, Orthodox Jews have a custom of wearing a tallit during prayer and a special garment under (sometimes over) their shirt throughout the day in order to surround themselves with tzitzits. The reason for the commandment of tzitzits is to serve as a constant reminder of the 613 mitzvahs (biblical commandments).
