Beginning on Monday, July 27, from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM, and continuing on Mondays through August 17, the clergy and staff will work with all rising seventh graders, male and female, to practice putting on tefillin. These workshops will focus on imparting meaning to the mitzvah, as well as the practical aspects of how to properly wear them. Sets of tefillin will be made available to the rising 7th grade students at a highly subsidized price thanks to the generosity of the Dollye and I. Wolford Berman Educational Initiative Grant.
We are excited to announce a special opportunity to acquire a pair of tefillin (regularly priced at $200) for only $50, thanks to the generosity of the Dollye and I. Wolford Berman Educational Initiative Grant. This special price is available to all B'nai Israel rising seventh graders. You can place your order below.
Your clergy at B'nai Israel are passionate about making sure that all of our students, both males and females, have their own pair of tefillin, and that they all feel comfortable wearing them as part of weekday morning services. We want them all to understand the importance of this mitzvah, and feel that they are empowered to fulfill it as soon-to-be b'nai mitzvah. We hope that this generously funded program will make this possible. The special sale and training sessions are open to all B'nai Israel rising 7th grade students (Talmud Torah and Day School).
Register and place your Tefillin order below. Zoom link information will be sent in the confirmation email.
