Ornate Tallitot and Covers for Tallitot and Tefillin
Wearing Tefillin and Wrapping in a Tallit โ Foundations of Jewish Mitzvot
Tefillin and Tallit are among the central mitzvot (commandments) in Judaism, establishing a daily connection between a person and the Torah's commandments and their Jewish identity.
What are Tefillin?
Tefillin consist of two leather boxes, inside of which are parchment scrolls inscribed with four passages from the Torah: "Sanctify to Me all the firstborn", "And it shall come to pass, when He brings you", "Hear, O Israel", and "And it shall come to pass, if you hearken diligently". One is placed on the arm and one on the head, in accordance with the Torah's command: "And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes" (Deuteronomy 6:8).
The Significance of Wearing Tefillin
Wearing tefillin expresses acceptance of the yoke of mitzvot and remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt. The tefillin for the arm symbolize the connection of actions to faith, and the tefillin for the head symbolize the connection of thought and intellect to the service of God.
What is a Tallit?
A tallit is a four-cornered garment with tzitzit (fringes) on it, in accordance with the Torah's commandment: "They shall make for themselves fringes on the corners of their garments" (Numbers 15:38). The tallit is worn during prayer, primarily during the Shacharit (morning) prayer, and serves as a constant reminder to fulfill the mitzvot.
The Significance of Wrapping in a Tallit
The tallit symbolizes wrapping oneself in mitzvot and remembering the Torah's commandments. The tzitzit are meant to remind a person of their obligation to fulfill the mitzvot and to avoid straying after temptation.
How to Wear Tefillin and Wrap in a Tallit
The tallit is worn first, with a blessing, and then the tefillin are worn โ first on the arm and then on the head. This order is based on accepted Jewish law. They are worn on weekdays and during the Shacharit prayer, and not on Shabbat and holidays.
