After having spent many years in Hollywood, working as a producer and a director on a panoply of high-profile projects, Paul Mones had seen almost everything imaginable. However, just last week, his own heritage treated him to something entirely new.
Rabbi Chaim Drizin, recently met Paul and they became fast friends. After an initial exposure to Yiddishkeit, Mr. Mones joined Rabbi Drizin for a trip that would change his life.
The two traveled to the Rebbe's Ohel, where Mr. Mones, for the first time in his life, donned Tefillin. Paul expressed that he, “enjoyed it immensely, I really love to do it.” The impact of the experience was so strong that he decided to make it a part of his daily life.
Hollywood Meets Tefillin Bank
After having spent many years in Hollywood, working as a producer and a director on a panoply of high-profile projects, Paul Mones had seen almost everything imaginable. However, just last week, his own heritage treated him to something entirely new.
Rabbi Chaim Drizin, recently met Paul and they became fast friends. After an initial exposure to Yiddishkeit, Mr. Mones joined Rabbi Drizin for a trip that would change his life.
The two traveled to the Rebbe’s Ohel, where Mr. Mones, for the first time in his life, donned Tefillin. Paul expressed that he, “enjoyed it immensely, I really love to do it.” The impact of the experience was so strong that he decided to make it a part of his daily life.
Rabbi Drizin contacted The Tefillin Bank and, in no time at all, Paul had his own Tefillin and was wearing them daily. After watching countless characters’ lives change on the big-screen, Mr. Mones had a chance to watch his own life change via this integral part of Jewish life.
The Kushner International Tefillin Bank is coordinated by The Shluchim Office in conjunction with The Shul of Bal Harbor and provides Tefillin, free of charge, to every Jewish man who commits to put them on daily. To date, The Tefillin Bank has distributed almost 3,500 pairs of Tefillin around the globe. For more details email tefillinbank@shluchim.org.
