Men’s Club is again observing WWW or World Wide Wrap. This is a day to encourage and teach those who have reached Bar or Bat Mitzvah age how to wear Tefillin. With the help and cooperation of Nicole Jahr and her teachers, we will be showing videos, having in-class instruction and creating “Build-A-Pair” tefillin. These are “mock” tefillin where the students learn what goes into (literally) a pair of tefillin. On Sunday morning, students and their parents (parents, we encourage you to join us also) will be joining us and participating in morning Minyan, having breakfast with us and practicing the mitzvah of tefillin.
