Tefillin for the Hand, between 1920-1960
Abstract
A tefillin (phylactery) for the hand consisting of a black leather box with a brown leather strap. This view shows the orange sticker on the top of the box with ''shel yad'' (for the hand). The leather boxes are those which Jewish men from the age of 13 bind with leather straps on the crest of their foreheads during the morning prayers. The leather box contains parchments on which are written the four sections of the Torah in which they are mentioned: ''And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand and for a remembrance between your eyes'' (Exodus 13:9, and with slight variations in Exodus 13:16, Deuteronomy 6:8 and 11:18). Originally belonged to Ira M. Beck.
