Matisyahu Glenn demonstrates how to put on tefillin according to the european, or ashkenazic minhag(custom). Tefillin, (Hebrew: תפילין), pronounced /ˈtfɪlɪn/ or pronounced /ˈtfɪln/ in Askhenazic Hebrew and English, pronounced [tfiˈlin] in Israeli Hebrew, also called phylacteries (pronounced /fɪˈlæktəriz/, from Ancient Greek phylacterion, form of phylássein, φυλάσσειν meaning "to guard, protect"), are a set of small cubic leather boxes painted black, containing scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah, with leather straps dyed black on one side, and worn by observant Jewish men during weekday morning prayers. Although "tefillin" is technically the plural form (the singular being "tefillah"), it is loosely used as a singular as well. [1] The hand-tefillin, or shel yad, is placed on the upper arm, and the strap wrapped around the arm, hand and fingers; while the head-tefillin, or shel rosh, is placed above the forehead, with the strap going around the head and over the shoulders. The Torah commands that they should be worn to serve as a "sign" and "remembrance" that God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt. (Update) |
Lutheranism![]() Lutheranism is a Christian tradition committed to the main theological insights of Martin Luther. It is numerically the third largest single Christian movement, with an estimated 82.6 million people belonging to the various congregations, bodies, and churches which call themselves Lutheran. Luther's insights are generally held to have been a major foundation of the Protestant movement. The relationship between Lutheranism and the Protestant tradition is, however, ambiguous: some Lutherans consider Lutheranism to be outside the Protestant tradition, while most see it as part of this tradition.

Mordechai Werdyger, Born April 16, 1951, professionally known as Mordechai Ben David (lit. Mordechai son of David) or MBD for short, is a superstar in the Orthodox Jewish community often referred to as "The King of Jewish Music". Werdyger has produced a record number of Jewish albums, many of them incredible hits. He also starred as the main performer in the popular Hasc concert for almost two decades. His father, David Werdyger, was a popular Jewish singer and cantor originally from Cracow and is a "Schindler" Jew. Werdyger blends traditional Hasidic melodies with modern pop to create the songs in his albums. Werdyger stopped singing at mixed concerts for religious reasons Werdyger lives in Sea Gate, Brooklyn. Stephen Stephen was a Christian whose story is told in the Book of Acts. He was stoned to death because of accusations of blasphemy, described in Acts 7. The apostle Paul (Saul) was present at Stephen's death, giving approval to it. Following his death, which probably occurred some time around 33 AD, the Jews of the early church became dispersed throughout Judea, Samaria and their Diaspora homelands, taking the gospel with them.
