Picture of the Day: ​“Bad Guy” Does Good Deed

On a recent trip, CGI-Simcha Monica visited America’s first theme park – Knotts Berry Farm. The night before the trip, the staff-members were tipped off about a Jewish worker with whom they should try to put on Tefilin. But they were warned that it would be a challenge: He was one of the “bad guys,” the actors who would regularly “rob” guests on the train which travels throughout the park.

Though adamantly refusing at first, after a little help from the campers, the man agreed to put on tefilin. In total, the campers helped find and convince six Jews to put on tefilin, including an optical illusionist. Several of them put on Tefilin for the first time in their lives.

These six were added to the growing number of Tefilin which the campers and staff have helped scores of men put on throughout their trips and excursions – in their own version of a “ground assault against terror.”
