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.
