A different Tefillin

00:00 Speaker 1 I’ll say a few words in English. Maybe the bochurim don’t understand Yiddish. I once heard a saying: A chossid puts on tefillin differently from a misnaged. It doesn’t mean that you’re a chossid because you daven at length and go to the Rebbe’s farbrengen. The very way a chossid puts on tefillin is different from the way a Jew who has never learned Chassidus puts them on. And after we’ve learned Samach Vav, [unclear] what mitzvos are, [unclear]. If we put on tefillin exactly as we did before learning Samach Vav, then Samach Vav hasn’t done anything for us. After learning the greatness of practical mitzvos—how great mitzvos are, even greater than serving Hashem—then in the morning, when we put on tefillin, there also has to be [unclear]. They’re the same tefillin, and we do the same thing, but we know.

01:24 Speaker 2 Dessert?

01:25 Speaker 1 So after learning Samach Vav, putting on tefillin has to be different. If it remains exactly the same, there’s room to ask whether we learned Samach Vav at all. L’chaim, l’chaim.

01:37 Speaker 2 L’chaim, l’chaim.

01:42 Speaker 1 The way we learn, our attitude toward tefillin. [unclear] the Rebbe—what now? I told you, I don’t know how to do that. L’chaim. L’chaim.
