Tefillin, also known as phylacteries, are small leather boxes containing scrolls of Torah verses, worn during weekday morning prayers. The craftsmanship behind Tefillin is an ancient and sacred art, requiring a deep understanding of Jewish law and meticulous attention to detail. Each Tefillin set is handmade by skilled artisans, known as sofrim (scribes), who must follow strict guidelines to ensure that the Tefillin are kosher and fit for ritual use.

The process begins with the preparation of the parchment scrolls, which are inscribed by hand with verses from the Torah using a quill and special ink. The leather boxes, or batim, are crafted from the hide of a kosher animal and carefully shaped to contain the scrolls. The straps, known as retzuot, are also made from leather and dyed black on one side, with specific lengths and widths required by Jewish law.

The level of precision and care involved in making Tefillin reflects the profound respect for their spiritual significance. Every detail, from the formation of the letters on the scrolls to the stitching of the batim, is executed with the intent of creating a holy object that will be used in daily prayer, connecting the wearer to the divine and the enduring traditions of Judaism.
