Pathways to the Heart

Pathways to the Heart

From the Words of HaRav Yoram Abargel zt”l

The holy Shelah writes:

When you put on tefillin; even though you later remove them, throughout the day there rests upon you a divine light that you do not notice, but someone who has pure eyes sees upon you the imprint of the tefillin.

When a person dons tefillin the four passages in them, correspond to the G-d’s holy name: “Sanctify to Me every firstborn” is the Yud, “And it shall be when G-d brings you” is the first Hei, “Hear, O Israel” is the Vav, “And it shall come to pass, if you will heed” is the final Hei.

Thus, when you put on tefillin, the Name of G-d is literally called upon you.
