7? Wraps on the Arm?
The video says 7, but it shows 8..what am I missing here? Does the first or last one "not count"..perhaps as a "transitional" wrap "starting" or "transitioning" from the arm to the hand?
I just want to get it right.
Thank you so much for the great video..I'm sure it's accurate, I'm just a newbie and don't understand the how to count the wraps properly I assume - Shalom!

To Samuel Shene-Gerszenfisz
It is hard to diagnose what the problem may be from a distance. I suggest that you stop by a Chabad center or synagogue in your area to consult. I am sure that whomever you meet will be happy to share his experience with you. In fact, your local Chabad rabbi may even make a house call.

Tfilin
When I use the ARM tfilin, it's very loose. How do I tighten or redo the special knot?
Toda,

CHABAD, TEFILLIN and the KOTEL
When I went to visit the KOTEL for the 1st time, the 1st thing that occured was a group of CHABAD CHASSIDIM took me, wrapped me up in tefillin, and sent me on my way to the WALL to daven. They helped me with everything and it was an excellent experience The experience of being in ISRAEL at the KOTEL changed my life completely.

Tefilllin...
1. Have you ever seen "Water, The Great Mystery"?
In it, Dr. Masaru Emoto says putting WORDS (taped) on containers effects the water structure -- it crystallizes differently according to the word: "I hate you" "I want to kill you" made it impossible to make beautiful crystals; "love & gratitude" made the most beautiful crystal.
Since the human body is WATER, if people KEEP these "WORDS" of the Torah on their heads, doesn't that also have an effect on their water crystallization?
Does it put the Spirit that wrote those words co-mingled with the spirit-mind of the human?

2. Does it say "between your eyes" (forehead); or is that some Hebrew idiom - science has discovered that the heart has its own "brain" that communicates with the other "brain" (the normal one we know about) through a gland that connects to the frontal lobe of the "brain". What do you say about this?

The Tefillin Booth
I saw this dazzling video after I went through the instructions on how to put on Tefillin and the Prayers to say. Rabbi Boruch H. sent me the link.

I feel good and peaceful. Yes!
