Connection creates essence — essence fosters connections.
The connection between a person and his family, his roots, himself, his friends.
The connection between man and G-d.
Tefillin symbolizes the deep connection between a Jew and his essence; his very being..
We make that connection.
Kesher Tefillin is a compelling and powerful project that is active around
the globe with wonderful results.
Kesher Tefillin was created to help give a budding Jew spiritual
ownership of a mitzvah that might otherwise be alien to him.
Central to the “catalog” of mitzvahs, Tefillin address an astonishing
spectrum of Jewish concepts – values reaching far beyond
the tefillin themselves: Kedushah, responsibility, devotion,
dedication, continuity, connectedness, identity.

To a young Jew approaching bar mitzvah, Tefillin should be objects of intense spiritual excitement. Sadly, they are often archaic remnants of a previous age relegated to the underwear drawer after the initial photo-op; no longer relevant in the high-speed world of Twitter and Instagram.
As a Jew approaches bar/bat-mitzvah, Kesher Tefillin facilitates and empowers his understanding of this beautiful mitzvah with a fusion of “hands on” creativity, learning and tangible results – a pair of kosher Tefillin!

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TEFILLIN
Tefillin are a manifestation of a Jew’s physical connection to his Creator – a spiritual
conduit linking them powerfully yet intangibly. The Midrash tells us that just as a
Jew wears tefillin that contain his affirmation of faith; the Creator puts on tefillin
that affirm His love of the Jewish people… I’ve made the connection.
