Notes
Tefillin are two small parchment-filled boxes with straps attached to them. Jewish men are required to place one box on their head and tie the other one on their arm each weekday morning during prayer. Tefillin are biblical in origin and are commanded within the context of several laws outlining a Jew's relationship to God: see Deuteronomy 6:5-8. The text that is inserted inside the two boxes of Tefillin is handwritten by a scribe and consists of the four sets of Biblical verses in which Tefillin are commanded (Exodus 13:1-10, 11-16; Deuteronomy 6:4 -9, 11:13-21). Putting on Tefillin is the first mitzvah (commandment) assumed by a Jewish male upon his Bar Mitzvah. The wearing of Tefillin is optional for women.

B&w photograph postcard representing six Jewish male workers from Yemen. The men are wearing traditional outfits and hats. There is no handwriting on the back of the card. It is possible that the term Bezalel refers to the occupation of the men as metal engravers. Narrative: The name "Bezalel" means "in the shadow [protection] of God." Bezalel is described in the genealogical lists as the son of Uri (Exodus 31:1), the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah (I Chronicles 2:18, 19, 20, 50). He was said to be highly gifted as a workman, showing great skill and originality in engraving precious metals and stones and in wood-carving. (source: Wikipedia)
