Chesed Shel Emes Aids in Search for Lost Tefillin

A peculiar sight unfolded this Sunday afternoon in front of Oholei Torah on Eastern Parkway. A number of Bochurim and volunteers from Chesed Shel Emes decked out in Hazmat suits and masks sifting through the mountains of trash bags in search of a lost pair of Tefillin.

According to one of the Bochurim a single pair of Rashi Tefillin went missing from Zal on Friday. A scan of the surveillance footage revealed that a custodian unknowingly threw the Tefillin out.

After calling a number of volunteer organizations, Chesed Shel Emes – whose specialty lies with Kavod Hames and recovery – answered the call and number of volunteers with hazmat suits and face masks came to the Bochurims’ aid.

Together, the group spent nearly an hour going through all the smelly trash in hopes of finding the lost Tefillin. Unfortunately they were not found.
