Yoel Halevi No Comments

Introduction

Tefillin, also referred to as phylacteries in Greek, are among the most important ritual objects in Judaism, deeply connected to Jewish prayer and identity. Comprising two black leather boxes containing carefully written Torah passages on parchment, Tefillin are worn by observant Jewish men during weekday morning prayers as a fulfillment of biblical commandments. These passages emphasize the importance of remembering and practicing the commandments of God in daily life. The practice of wearing Tefillin is seen as a physical manifestation of spiritual dedication, symbolizing the bond between God and the Jewish people.
