"Well written and concise. This book makes the mitzvah of Tefillin so much more meaningful. Highly recommended reading." --Robert Weiss
What are tefillin? What is their deeper significance? How can we bind our hearts and souls to God, as we bind these these scrolls to our arms and heads? The Splendor of Tefillin contains nine insightful essays that delve into the philosophical side of the mitzvah of tefillin, based on the writings of Rabbi Abraham Isaac HaKohen Kook. If we truly understood the mitzvah of Tefillin, Rav Kook taught, when we place them over our frontal lobe, "we would feel a flow of enlightenment, understanding, and reverence of God." "I warmly recommend this book to all those interested in deepening their understanding of tefillin - and of Rav Kook’s teachings."--Rabbi Shmuel Jablon
