Just when I thought I knew putting on my Tefillin I learn something new with your videos.

I like to do the wraps on both sides as well.

Thank you Rabbi. This is great! Wrapping and putting them away safely and with the least wear and tear has been a constant anxiety...... so your effort is very much appreciated...... as are all your other informative videos. Adding a little bit of history makes it even more precious. Please keep making similar videos as we love them and appreciate your work very much !!

Wow so cool B"H. thank you for sharing

Thank you!

Todah Rabah, Sofer for this beautiful teaching!

My pleasure!

Because of you, my Kanfei Yonim turned out perfect. Thank you so much dear Rabbi, your content is so useful. Thank you for being here on KZread. G’d bless you, you’re doing an amazing job… ❤️

Greetings from Houston, TX. I'm loving these videos. I miss our long chats.

ב"ה Thanks

Great video! If you wrap the Rosh on both sides, and the Yad on one side, then it’s easy to tell which one you’re reaching in the bag for. Of course, you can also tell if you always put them in the bag consistently.

I wrote this comment 2 years ago. Since then, I’ve been storing them both wrapped on both sides

Why the difference between Sephardi & Ashkenazi re: wrapping outward vs inward?

Is it correct to always wrap the left side first, for putting away Tefillin, or do you do it that way because you are left handed?

The Yad or the Rosh? The yad it just flows better that way... the Rosh I would assume you could do either way I'm not aware of any Halacha regarding which side to wrap first.

Thank you. I was thinking about both. I know that although we should put on our right shoe first, but if there are laces we should tie the left shoe firstly because of tefillin. Therefore I thought there might be a Halacha.

@GLOCKDPLUSFlowriders correct . This is very interesting that you mention this. Maybe it's something to look into.

The Qumran parshios are the size of beans.

I have tried to find out in what order the parshios are inside, but with no luck. Do you have any info on them? Do you know if they have been opened yet?

@@GLOCKDPLUSFlowriders Most of the Qumran tefillin are the same parshios we use today. I am reading that some are according to Rashi. Others according to Rabbenu Tam. So the dispute appears to be very ancient.

​@@ijunkieThank you. I was hoping that they would be in reverse order as Shimusha Raba (Rav Sar Shalom Ben Gaon Boaz)

I never heard the story of the small Tifillin nor. the story about the Romans. I am 72 and have been to Iarael several times as a US soldier and also to Afghanistan where I twice celebrated high hol days and even blew the shofar in Kabul. I was told growing up that I was Ashkanazi. When I did a sophiticated DNA analysis I discovered my father's side traced me back to Southeasthern Anatolia, Turkey. On my mother's side who came to tha US from Lithuania were in fact not Eastern European Jews but decendants of the Mountain Jews of Azerbaijan (the Caucasus) and further back to Persia. The % of m DNA was spit as such10% Spain, 10% Italy, 1 % Germany, and the rest was Turkish/Persian and nothing from Eastern Europe. Does that make me Sphardic? An old uncle of my mom told me a story how the family came to Lithuania from Macedonia (Alexander the Great time in history). I have a retired General friend from the Turkish Army that traced his DNA to the same region of Turkey mine was from. He now calls Kardesim (brother in Turkish) and I call him Abi (older brother in Turkish). I was deployed to Baku a few times and participated in a Yom Kippur service with Mountain Jews. They were quite happy to know I was decendent from their ancestors as well. Sorry about the poor spelling and the long winded message. I have as most jews in the been very distraught over the war in Israel and had I still been in the military I would have volunteered to make Aliyah and join the IDF. I pray for them every day in my heart and mind. I have also prepared myself for the possible terrorist activities targeting Jews in hte US that could be domestic or foreign. thanks for letting me bend you ear. Shabbat Shalom.

Beautiful story, thank you for sharing. Yes, you are Sephardi. Lucky you! They seem more serious about their prayers, and meditations. Sephardim seem to live their lives following Kabbalah principles more than Ashkenazim, in my limited opinion. I also prefer the "Ivrit" pronunciation.
