I’ve always heard more blessings being said as the teffilin is wrapped. Is there more or just the first one? Reply
Can anyone please show how to wrap the Tifillin back around the case when you are finished ?
Thank you

While we do not have a full video explaining how to wrap the tefillin back up, the end of this vide chabad.org/1504374 does have a brief shot of it.
The main goal is to neatly wrap the straps on either side of the box. Ideally the knot of the head tefillin should always remain exposed, and the knot of the hand tefillin should always remain touching the actual tefillin box.
For additional instructions, I suggest getting in touch with your local Chabad rabbi and ask him for a brief hands-on tutorial.

tefillin whoever is wondering about the brachah by the head tefillin, u only say it if there was an interruption in between the arm and head, like if u talked or something Reply
Smooth, clear, and pleasant guide Reply
It helps to have a mirror to center the head tefillin between the eyes easier. Reply
Tefillin Very insightful information at the beginning. What about the saying brachot for donning the head tefillin and wrapping the strap around the middle finger? Reply
G-D commands us to put on Tefillin, it's one of his 613 commandments. This I know will never be read in the comments expressed here, but here's what I think. G-D commands the Jewish people to wear these because they need to be constantly reminded of his presence, and not fall victim towards evil practices. You bind it to yourself everyday except shabbos and yom tov, when you do not need a reminder. I do not wear them unless asked by a rabbi, and even then sometimes I politely decline. What you bind to yourselves I carry for him a steadfastly in my heart. I have a deep love for G-D and humanity there and his spirit will dwell there forever and ever. So what do I need Tefillin for?

Tefillin Add a comment...an acupuncture expert has mentioned that the Tefillin activates those very pressure points that help with meditation and peace and relation with the Creator. I am sure there is some electrical or quantum physics involved since the Man in the Shroud of Turin is also wearing a set. Reply

Excellent demonstration by an excellent demonstrator but there are too many details to observe.........too many details. This is why I consider myself to be an everyday Jew and only observe the mitzvah of having a decent relationship with my fellow man, AND, doing what I can for whom I can.

Putting on tefillin I like your demonstration, however, I wish you would've shown me how to wrap it back up and put it in the bag. Oh well, maybe next time. All the best, Reply
Thank You!
I have been wanting to know how to, and this IS the best demonstration I have seen!
Shalom

How to wrap Tefillin Superb demonstration and explanation. Todah rabah. Reply
great video Rabbi but we need a 2nd follow up video that autoplays right after this one showing how to properly put them away and wrap them (if they are supposed to be wrapped for the storage? idk)
