In 5727 (1967), a young chassid from Australia traveled to New York to spend Shavuot with the Lubavitcher Rebbe in Brooklyn. He arrived a few days before the festival, just a short time after the Rebbe, at the outbreak of the Six-Day War, had inaugurated the campaign to arouse all Jewish males to perform the mitzvah of wrapping tefillin. He had cited the verse, “The fear of the nations will be upon you,” and the traditional interpretation that this results when our enemies see our head-tefillin. In the aftermath of the miraculous victory and the Jewish arousal that accompanied it, the Rebbe recommended to continue and even increase the tefillin campaign.The lines above are the opening paragraph of an article by Yrachiel Tilles that appeared on the ascentofsafed.com website. The punch-line of the story, that the bochur and his friends got a cranky old man to agree to put on tefillin because the Australian had mistakenly brought along some stale hamantaschen, caught my attention and I decided to publish this heart-warming story as a “Slice of Life” in L’Chaim.
