Tefillin for the Head, between 1920-1960
Abstract
A tefillin (phylactery) for the head consisting of a black leather boxes with a brown leather strap. The top of the tefillin box has an orange sticker with ''shel rosh'' (for the head). The leather boxes are those which Jewish men from the age of 13 bind with leather straps onto their left arm (unless they are left-handed, in which case they bind it onto their right arm) 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.
