SHIVTI WEEKLY UPDATE/היסח הדעת בתפילין

 

SHIVTI WEEKLY UPDATE Shivti Fall/Winter 5782 - ויבינו במקרא This week, we continue with the segment on "Hesech Hadaas and Tefillin" of our ויבינו במקרא series.  This sugya is dedicated by Rabbi Abba Genack in honor of his wife Yael for her constant support and encouragement in all his Torah endeavors, including the weekly Shivti program. Dedication opportunities are available in honor of a simcha (bar mitzvah), yahrzeit, or any other momentous event. Call our office or email us for more information. היסח הדעת בתפילין This week's sugya will focus on the kedusha of Tefillin. While wearing Tefillin, one is required to remain cognizant of this fact and behave in an appropriate manner. This Halacha is derived from the pesukim discussing the Tzitz in this week's parsha, Parshas Tetzaveh. We discuss the essence of the term Hesech Hadaas (is it just an awareness or a real conscious thought?) and how this definition translates into Halacha L'maaseh. For example, what should one be concentrating on when reciting the Shema while wearing Tefillin - on the Tefillin or on the words of the Shema? Also, if one does in fact lose focus of the fact that he is wearing his Tefillin, was he still mekayem the Mitzvah of Tefillin? היסח הדעת בתפילין Shiurim on This Week's Sugya - and More An added feature for this week's sugya is a shiur delivered this week by Rabbi Aharon Shlomo Jacoby, Shivti Rosh Chabura at Kollel Zichron Shneur (Brisker Kollel) in Monsey NY, on this sugya.
