Photos: Tefilin at the Taj Mahal
One of the participants of an annual trip of the Chabad Brazilian Organization ‘Espaco K’ (‘space’ in Portuguese) put on Tefillin in front of the Taj Mahal in the City of Agra, India. The place is considered as one of the wonders of the world, and attracts millions of tourist each year.
The 12 day Journey was organized by Moishe Goldstein and Bentzi Sasson of Exotic Kosher Travel.

Ignorance is Bliss. Oh…What a wonderful trip…Oh….Oh….First of all the Tadj is a goyisher tomb, the burial place of some dead Moslem queen. Secondly it might also be a mosque, which like a church, is a beys ha-tumah and one should not go in there. And thirdly and probably the worst, why would any self-respecting Yid go to that county which is filled with idols – avodah zara mamash. Anybody learn “drei prokim” Rambam? In hilchos avodah zara which we just finished, the Rambam paskened that if you know a city is filled with idols you are not allowed to go in there. How much more so a whole country. FEH.
