"You shall bind them as sign upon your hand and they shall be a symbol before your eyes...". For the rabbis of the Talmudic period, this was an injunction from God to wear Tefillin, two small wooden boxes containing parchment scrolls on which four paragraphs from the Torah (Exodus 13:1-10, 11-16; Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 13-21) are written. These four passages from the Torah all include the commandment to don Tefillin as a sign, as a symbol of Jewish faith and devotion. Each of the black boxes comes with leather straps so designed as to enable one to be bound upon the hand and for the other to be worn above the forehead. The leather straps, the boxes and the parchment are all made from kosher animals. The writing must be handwritten by a scribe. Tefillin are worn for the daily morning service in Orthodox, most Conservative synagogues and some Reform congregations by men who are over Bar Mitzvah age. However, they are not worn on Shabbat or Festivals because keeping Shabbat and the Festivals is already a sign of the covenant, so a further reminder is unnecessary. They are also not worn on the first day of mourning or by a groom on his wedding day.
