Putting on Tefillin every morning
Coming from a home where religious observance did not exist, I knew nothing about Tefillin, Sh'ma, or anything else. Though some people say "Ignorance is Bliss", I say "Ignorance is Shameful".
My tefillin began only because I admired the example of religiosity set by my rebbi, Shaya Deitsch. What does it mean to me? just this: In a day of much distraction and meaningless affairs, putting on Tefillin is often THE SINGLE MOMENT OF SANITY in my entire day. It has changed my life for the better. I have come to think of asking G-d to allow me to be close to Him, rather than ask G-d to please be close to me. Though I now live too far away to see Shaya very often, he remains my rebbi.
