World Wide Wrap

What is the World Wide Wrap?

The World Wide Wrap is an initiative begun by the Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs (FJMC) to encourage everyone to put on tefillin for at least one day – usually Super Bowl Sunday.

FJMC, at their World Wide Wraps, have always encouraged men and women to put on tefillin , but, this year, Women’s League for Conservative Judaism (WLCJ) and FJMC collaborated to create educational materials to truly educate and encourage women to don tefillin , and embrace the mitzvah .

Under the leadership of WLCJ’s Executive Director, Rabbi Ellen S. Wolintz-Fields, Tefillin 101 , a 4-week crash course, is being prepared. Tefillin is the rabbi’s passion, and a mitzvah that all should embrace, to bring each person into their own sacred, personal relationship with God, Torah, and Israel.

Please click on each link below for two Tefillin 101 lessons – (the first two weeks). Each lesson includes 7 items about  tefillin  – because 7 is an important number when donning  tefillin . Two additional lessons are forthcoming.
