  • From http://www.etzchaim.co.uk/news.php Etz Chaim Tefillin video Etz Chaim Synagogue, with the help of Addictive Media have produced a 5 minute video aimed at helping anyone who wants to lay Tefillin, but needs a quick and easy to follow guide. Most boys receive instruction on this before their Barmitzvah but if some time has passed, like any other skill, it can be difficult to remember just how it’s done. We hope that this short film will provide you with the confidence to begin again, whatever your reason.
