World Wide Wrap Recap


On Sunday, February 1st, Congregation Agudath Israel, along with Masorti congregations from around the world, took part in one of Judaism's great rituals: The World Wide Wrap. It's a wonderfully informative and spiritual day for synagogue congregants, most notably Hebrew School students and Men's Clubs. The morning was spent learning about the reasons behind tefillin wrapping, its symbolism and its construction. The lessons dovetailed nicely with morning minyan, which occured right before this event. Following the World Wide Wrap, participants dined on, what else? Wraps!

And you thought the first Sunday in February was all about the Super Bowl.

A hearty Yasher Koach and thanks to our resident tefillin expert, Gerry Shapiro (pictured).
