It seems to me, in my humble opinion, that at the conclusion of the parashah of tzitzis we are presented with an opportunity to fulfill not one, but two mitzvos of remembrance: the remembrance of the Exodus of Egypt and the remembrance of the revelation at Sinai. Krias Shema begins with the acceptance of the yoke of Heaven: “Hear, O Israel, Hashem is our G-d, Hashem is One,” and concludes with: “And you shall be holy to your G-d.” This progression brings us closer to Hakadosh Baruch Hu through contemplation of the mitzvos of remembering the Exodus of Egypt and the event at Sinai, both of which are represented in the tzitzis. When we recite, “And you shall see it,” we draw close to the Shechinah, and when we conclude, “I am Hashem your G-d, Who brought you out of the Land of Egypt,” we can envision the event at Sinai alongside the remembrance of the Exodus, when our ancestors saw with their own eyes the words of Hakadosh Baruch Hu, “I am Hashem your G-d, Who brought you out of the Land of Egypt.” In this way, we fulfill the Torah commandment of remembering the giving of the Torah at Sinai, which is related to the mitzvah of remembering the Exodus of Egypt.
