Ad for a new zizit factory operated by the Hafez-Gintilli family in Venice. The zizit of beautiful wool follow the customs of Jews from the Mizrah. Zizit is the name of the tassels attached to the four corners of special (four-cornered) garments worn by men in fulfillment of the biblical commandment in Numbers 15:37–41 and Deuteronomy 22:12. Talmudic literature invests the commandment of zizit with exalted symbolism. The rabbis regarded the zizit as a reminder to the Jew to observe the religious duties, giving it a function similar to that of the mezuzah on the doorposts and to the tefillin on the head and arm. The Talmud brings the parable how a person was saved from sensual sin because he wore fringes (Men. 44a).
