Re-watching this golden video. I thank you on behalf of all Jewry. It is needed!
Explaining the mitzvah of Tefillin, that (I would guess) 99% of us are not aware of.

Excellent resource🙏

I like your explanation of the calf hair it makes sense to me. Also just want to say thank you for sharing all your knowledge I've watched most of your videos and I've learned something new every time. Thanks and God bless

I always noticed the hairs, but I didn’t know the meaning. I like your explanation. Glad I wasn’t tempted to cut them off.

Love it Rabbi! Will you let me record video about work of sofer if I will make it to Monsey? Would be great! All the best to you !

[@TheSoferCenter]

Amazing !!

Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

Interesting. My shel rosh has no small hairs sticking out of the batim. Mysterious lol

[@TheSoferCenter]

Sometimes they slip in. It is still kosher but you can bring it to a sofer to pull them out.

In Aryeh Kaplan's book he explains that in order for G-d to allow us free will and freedom of choice, he had to create the possibility for evil.
At first G-d gave evil barely enough power to exist. It's existence literally hung by a hair. It was only man's evil deeds that strengthened it and allowed it to grow.
Although hair is dead, it emanates from the living. This side of evil is given a small place in our most holy realm, because all of it's power ultimately comes from the Holy.
Why a calf's hair? The Golden Calf is one of the archetypes of evil.
This hair ultimately connects all evil to the Holy. It is a channel through which all evil can be brought back to the Holy and redeemed.
When a man returns to G-d all the evil he has done can be turned to good.
The most amazing thing is that it is written that a sinner who wears Tefillin may descend to Gehenom, but is immediately purified and refined!
