Videos: Mivtzoim Done Right

An Israeli tourist visiting Pittsburgh came across a couple of young Lubavitcher Bochurim doing Mivtzoim last Friday afternoon. Their warmth, sincerity and joy touched the man, who filmed the encounter and posted the videos to his Facebook page under the title “Ashreinu Sheyesh Lanu Am Kazeh” (How lucky we are to have a nation like this).

    #8 Seriously…just wanted to defend the sanctity of the tefillin..not just criticize. If taht was my main intention, there are much more serious issues I could pick, but as I mentioned, “normally don’t comment”
