After a season for the history books that saw the underdog New York Giants claim victory in Super Bowl XLII, mega-fan Jay Greenfield -- who attributes his favorite team's success to his newfound desire to put on tefillin -- inaugurated a brand new Tefillin Club this past Sunday at the Long Island home of a friend. Present for the occasion was Rabbi Yisroel Shemtov, the garment salesman and Chabad-Lubavitch Chasid who turned Greenfield on to the daily practice of donning phylacteries.
