TEFILLIN

Tefillin are special leather boxes with straps containing parchments

with passages from the Torah written by a skilled scribe, called a sofer.

Tefillin are worn during weekday morning services (i.e., not on Shabbat or festivals).

They are placed on one's head and arm, as the Torah says in Deuteronomy 6:8:

"You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and

they should be for a reminder between your eyes."

Tefillin have a tremendous power to connect us to G‑d.

When purchasing a pair of tefillin, care should be taken to buy from a dependable store

in order to ensure that the tefillin are properly hand-written by a duly-qualified sofer.

Over the course of time, tefillin can begin to deteriorate.

Therefore, it is a good idea to have your tefillin checked at regular intervals.
