Tefilin are called in our holy sources, a sign,

is no prohibition against it. The Talmud says that if women wish to put on
tefilin, we should not stand in their way. Moreover, the women are rewarded for
it. What are Tefilin? May women wear Tefilin? What is prayer? Can Tefilin help
us to pray? How can Tefilin contribute to our spiritual practice? Come! Learn
and experience how Tefilin can help you to connect heart, mind and soul to
divine energy. The class is taught by Ori Har, spiritual
