Sinai until today, the Jews have distinguished themselves with unparalleled devotion to the mitzvah of Tefillin, often risking their lives just to don them for one moment without even reciting the blessing. There are moving stories relating how after the fall of Communism, scores of elderly Jews left Russia and arrived in Israel. Cut off from their Jewish roots since childhood, they were totally ignorant of Jewish practice. When they were offered the opportunity to wear Tefillin, many felt a sense of joy that here in their own Land, they were free to observe Jewish laws and practice them. One of them related that his parents were totally irreligious but he remembers that his grandfather wore Tefillin secretly every day. This inspired him to discover more about his Jewish roots.
