Engaging God

For thousands of years, Jewish men have wrapped leather straps and black boxes around their arms and head every day. This observance is iconic and ancient, yet for so many it is often hurried and mechanical. Engaging God invites readers to rediscover tefillin as an encounter with meaning and with God. Drawing from Tanach, Chazal, halachah, Kabbalah, and Chassidus, the author translates powerful ideas into practical avodah and transforms a familiar practice into a moment of presence and connection.
