IDF Soldiers Receive Tefillin From Chabad of France

For the 15th time, Chabad of France has donated a large number of tefillin and candlesticks to IDF soldiers and policemen.

This years unique gifting ceremony took place at the Kotel, where 140 members of the IDF and Israels police forces received their new gifts.

The gifts have become the annual donation by the Friends of Chabad Sanai-Marne.

The initiative had originally begun years ago when ten soldiers had committed to putting on tefillin each day, and received their tefillin. This year, 70 people received tefillin, while another 70 received their new candlesticks.
