I try...I have to thank the girl i started dating actually...this is the prime motivation of starting it up again.

but of course, that's not a reason to wear tfillin or even keep kosher...so in reality i'm doing it for myself...

Just a question, what is the significance of the black straps around the arms?
And also, the black block that is placed on the forehead?

I can give you the answer which i know, but i'll leave it for the experts to fill in the blanks:

Inside the box is the shema. It is placed over teh prefrontal lobe area because it is suggested that is where the sould presides. We know that in science that is our morality center. It is placed in this area to keep Gd in mind. The other one is placed on the left bicep facing the heart..so that we have Gd in our hearts all the time. The strap goes around the forearm 7 times (i guess for the 7 days of the week or 7 days of creation). then on the hand, we spell Gd's name (shin dalet yud) pronounced Sh-hdai.

"Hear O' Israel the Lord our Gd the Lord is one"

and then there is more to it after that.

what is inside the two black boxes (head and left bicep) is on small parchment paper what I recited in the video.

interesting..i sent a video response of my video on that page and sent "Minister Fields" a question about his movement and if he believe that Jesus was the messiah.

Wayne Jude · « **Reply #21 on:** April 06, 2008, 04:03:10 PM »

Good question Dr. I was thinking the same thing!

Dr. Dan · « **Reply #22 on:** April 06, 2008, 04:11:58 PM »

I'm usually suspicious of non Jews who practice Judaism..

I think it's nice that there are those who appreciate my religion and practice it..but more needs to be found out about those types of people. Righteous noahides and righteous non-Jews have a place in Gd's grace too.

Wayne Jude · « **Reply #23 on:** April 06, 2008, 04:20:02 PM »

bingo!

when I posted that link with a wink, it was purely because it was funny. And it was intended to be seen with some maturity.

This whole thread, with a video of you or your friend putting on teffilin, is ridiculous. Jews keep judaism and non-jews don`t. The Torah is our inheritance and our betrothed. We don`t go teaching non-jews how a jew prays. There is no point. Infact, it can end up creating people like that black preacher, who learnt how to say the first line of the shema from some cuckoo jew.
