Why the head tefillin has a dalet or double dalet made of stripes on the back of the head? Reply

I was told that even a left handed person should have Tefillin on his left arm.
To restrict the desire to receive for themselves and change it into one of sharing.
Is this not a kabbalistic principle? Reply

8 of 10. I put on Tefillin when asked. The last time was several weeks ago at the Chabad of Summerlin in Las Vegas with Abraham Metal, whose brother is one of the rabbis there. Reply

Question 7 is confusing - because if you don't have a bris then you have to put on the teffilan .so the answer should be It depends Reply

in response to Gijnvgn:

I understand why you say what you say (i.e. every day we need two "signs"). However, I am almost sure that in practice, nobody should put on tefilin on shabbat and that there is no such custom. Did you find any source for what you said? Reply

in response to Gijnvgn:

if you dont have a bris then you still dont put on tefillin on shabbat Reply

6 out of 10. Not bad for one who has never worn Tefillin. Reply

Got 8 out of 10, not too bad for a gentile with an interest in Jewish culture and tradition. Reply

10 is confusing the answer. In yeshiva, and some neighborhoods, the tallit and tefillin are worn all day, up until erev. Reply

I got an 8/10 and I don't have any brothers! I am very proud of myself. I messed up on numbers 7 and 8, but I learned something new! Thanks for the quiz, and everyone should have a great Shabbos! Reply

Question 3 answer is wrong for how the question is worded, his hand tefillin is in the palm, his arm tefillin is on the bicep Reply

This is what I thought! Reply
