Before Itche and Jono can help a guy with his Mitzvah Pledge, they have to help him figure out why he has a string tied around his finger.

Three in Teffilin
Just like wisdom, knowledge and understanding where understanding is a mix of the two and generosity,strictness and beauty where beauty is a mix of the two so too with yarmulkah, tzitzit and tefillin.

Yarmulkah concentrates on the thought that G-D is above us. With tzitzit we remember all the commandments of the Torah. Teffilin has two parts: The teffilin of the head and the teffilin of the arm. The head represents thought and the hand represents action.

A further difference is that Teffilin is from the Torah, tzitzit too but only if you are wearing a four cornered garment, and finally yarmulkah is a minhag (custom).

It's all relevant
Check out this guide to tallis and tefillin! (www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/110306/jewish/Tallit-and-Tzitzit.htm)
Maybe it will clear a few things up.

mordechai's point is valid.
maybe it was chol hamoed, the intermediary days in yom tov that we put a tallis on but no teffilin.

what's tallis without tfillin?
i think u should have made it tzitzis not tallis, i mean, what's a tallis witout tfillin? if barry plegded to put on a tallis, he should have first put on tfillin. tzitzis makes more sense because the strings and knots (as mentioned by barry) are realy what make you remember the 613 mitzvos. besides the strings on the tallis are tzitzis.

Who's driving?
I would assume Jono is driving, because he's on the left side of the car, but...

1. He doesn't look like he's driving

2. If I was Itche, I wouldn't let Jono drive my car.

Great show, but...
I think the characters should wear seat belts when driving.

Keep those great shows coming- they help my son eat his meals.
