tefillin

tefillin

In Judaism, two small leather boxes containing scrolls from the Torah, that are strapped to the left arm and the forehead by Jewish men for daily prayer. The tefillin on the arm points to the heart, while that on the forehead to the mind and thoughts.

The tefillin are worn in obedience to a command found in Deuteronomy 6 to bind the words of the Shema ‘as a sign upon your hands and a frontlet between your eyes’. Most Jews regard them as a God-given symbolic reminder to love God in all one thinks, feels, and does.
