The tassels on the prayer shawl reminded them to keep the commands of the Lord and to stay pure. The 5 knots reminded them of the 5 books of moses-first 5 books of The Bible. The 4 spaces between the knots stand for the 4 letters of Gods name YHWH-the Jews removed some letters from Yahwah because they thought the name of God was too holy to write all the letters.
What else can I help you with?
Tradition had men wear tassels on the hems of their garments. Did Jesus have these also. Did He wear a prayer shawl?
This question divides into several questions. The first one is the question of tradition about prayer shawls. According to the Bible, in Numbers 15:38 and Deuteronomy 22:12, the people of Israel are to have tassels attached to the corners of their garments. Any piece of material worn as a garment is to have tassels on the corners as a reminder to give thanks to God for HIS blessings. Thus it is not a tradition, it is a commandment. Since Jesus is/was/shall be a Jew, He also wore the tassels. So yes, He wore a prayer shawl. In fact, in the story of the woman with the issue of blood, the "hem of his garment" refers to this article of clothing. She just wanted to touch the tassels of His prayer shawl and she would be made clean. This can be seen as an act of great faith.
