I was teaching the present simple and we were telling each other that 'every day I do something at a certain time'. So I asked him to tell us what he did every day at 6 a.m. He said that every day at 6 a.m. he puts on tefillin. <BR/><BR/>So you never know, there are people here in Israel who do not look like it on the outside but who do hold on to certain rituals. I have seen this also with people who kiss mezuzot, not to mention women who come to mikveh in the most unlikely dress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-23567820803440117702007-11-19T05:02:00.000+02:002007-11-19T05:02:00.000+02:00My son didn't have his tefillin a month when he le...My son didn't have his tefillin a month when he left his backpack at a baseball game in Gan Sacher. That was our "sabbatical" year in Yerush.<BR/><BR/>Within a few hours we heard from our tzaddik. D. had his tefillin back by dinnertime. The man wouldn't take money, either, if I recall.therapydochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05088184676439578876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-11299576957839511082007-11-18T23:50:00.000+02:002007-11-18T23:50:00.000+02:00My husband recently left his tefillin on a bench i...My husband recently left his tefillin on a bench in Har Nof, Jerusalem after a bris. He returned home to Modiin, and after parking reached for them, and they weren't there. He could not return to J-m immediately due to a previous obligation, but drove back about two hours later. The tefilin were not on the bench, but a note in both Hebrew and English was there with a cell phone number. He called it and retrieved the tefillin from yet another tzaddik in Israel, very differently dressed from the one you describe. Two very different Jews, both caring about their fellow-jew and performing the same great mitzvah that made our day!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Good story!Bailahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115498582378133552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-80050778745537976102007-11-17T01:43:00.000+02:002007-11-17T01:43:00.000+02:00Excellent post!
