Polémique autour de la pose des tefillins : Le ministre de l’Éducation Yoav Kisch s’oppose au directeur du lycée de son fils

Un enregistrement vidéo diffusé en ligne a déclenché une vive controverse en Israël : le directeur du lycée Ohel Shem de Ramat Gan aurait interdit aux élèves de mettre les tefillins (phylactères) au sein de l’établissement. La vidéo, rapidement relayée sur les réseaux sociaux, est parvenue jusqu’au ministre de l’Éducation, Yoav Kisch, qui a aussitôt réagi, affirmant que le droit de mettre les…

indeed the world sucks but i like to think that somewhere out there there’s a woman wrapping tefillin as we speak and that’s a good enough reason as any to keep going

Something I'm still thinking about from shabbat service was the little lecture the rabbi gave on tefillin, about how Moshe saw G-d's tefillin when He appeared to him, about it being a reminder of Him of His obligations to His people. I know there are many interpretations about tefillin, but that one really just hits me somehow. There's something really interesting about how G-d reminds Himself of His obligations, about how judaism is a dual relationship.

It has been a heartwarming week, seeing seven captive Israeli "flowers" running into the arms of their ecstatic families, stating that they have been "born again". There has also been a religious flowering within many of the families of the hostages and among many previously secular IDF soldiers. The return of foreign workers to Israel has triggered an agricultural "flowering" in farms and kibbutzim. In the revitalized Israeli north, a new Strauss factory will produce milk products from plants, while Israel's Plantopia has switched from lettuce to sprouted oats for its source of milk proteins. In the medical arena, many immobile patients are flowering again, thanks to an Israeli startup that is opening up blocked blood vessels; while other Israeli startups have been restoring health to sufferers of strokes and rheumatoid arthritis. Israel's economy has certainly been flowering again, fueled by its technology ecosystem and investor confidence. And in the sunshine, the almond trees are in full flower a full three weeks before Tu Bishvat - the Jewish New Year for Trees. Finally, Yuval Raphael survived the Oct 7 Nova music festival and will flower again when she represents Israel at the next Eurovision Song Contest. The photo is of my orchid in full bloom again in the winter sunshine.  We pray that most of the remaining hostages are still alive and will soon flower again in the Israeli sunshine.

im not sure if this is or not but just in case i want to apologize if this is an invasive question and you dont have to answer it at all lol. i was born jewish but the way my parents raised me...we never really identified with one particular movement and we werent super observant either so i dont know much about a lot of jewish practices/rituals/etc. do you have any resources on uh..."rules" pertaining to when it is and is not appropriate to wear tefillin? is it possible to use tefillin improperly? i wanted to design an orthodox jewish spiderperson and i want to incorporate them being orthodox into their design but i dont want to do so in a way that is disrespectful... no worries if you dont feel comfortable answering this!!! im trying to do research on my own as well so ill figure it out eventually haha i just thought asking someone who was raised orthodox might get me a more thorough answer if that makes sense?

Hey sorry for the late response!

Some basic rules for when Tefillin are worn:

-Tefillin are put on during the morning prayers, but they can technically be put on if one forgot anytime after that until sunset.

-Tefillin are not worn on Shabbat or holidays (including Yom Kippur).

-On Tisha B'Av, most do not wear Tefillin in the morning and only put them on in the afternoon as a sign of mourning.

-Tefillin are not worn if someone's immediate family has died but has not yet been buried.

Some basic rules for how Tefillin are worn:

-Tefillin of the forehead are worn such that the front of the box is near the hairline and not too far back on the head.
