- These are tefillin sometimes called phylacteries, which are small black leather boxes on leather straps.
- Kosher leather, of course. Inside these boxes, there are little scrolls containing words
- from the books of Deuteronomy and Exodus, written in Hebrew. Some Jews wear these on their arm and head
- when they pray at home in the morning. There are different ways to put them on,
- but this is how I do it. The first tefillin, with just one strap,
- traditionally goes on my left arm, so it's close to my heart. Some Jews say that you can use your weaker arm.
- So it's the left if your right handed, or the right if your left handed. I roll up my sleeve so I can wear that to fill in against my skin
- and place the box on my bicep. So it's about halfway down my upper arm and level with my heart.
- Then I say a blessing and wrap the strap three times around my upper arm. And then seven times around my forearm,
- then a few more times around my hand so I can hold it. The head tefillin - the one with two straps
- is placed just above my hairline, front and center. And the straps go behind my head.
- So the knot is just above the base of my skull. Now I can finish off tying the strap on my arm by wrapping it
- three times around my middle finger. The rest I can just wrap around my hand so it doesn't flap all over the place.
- The strap should be just tight enough that I can feel my pulse, but not too tight.
- This all goes back to a verse in the book of Deuteronomy, in which God says that his words are to be on your heart.
- Tie them on your hand as a sign. Put them at the front of a headband around your forehead.
- So many Jews do just that, while they pray to remind themselves of the importance of God's words in the Torah.
- In more orthodox communities, this is only done by men and boys;
- But in Reform Judaism, women can use them too. Although actually Reform Jews are less likely to use them when they pray.
- This is to symbolize that I worship God with my head and my heart, with all of me, my brains, my feelings and my actions.
