B''H

that is AMAZING!!!

Bless you bechol Ma'aseha, and may you serve as a Ba'al Kore, for many years to come! What a Mitzvah, every Shul needs a reader like you :D

Yes, he is REALLY 7. He started reading Torah and Haftara 5 months ago.

You are right 100flyingfish - as I clarified in my message to Gruntig2008, the tefillin are NOT real, they are plastic. I bought them in Baltimore, because my son has attended morning prayers every day for the past 18 months.

Sephardic tradition allows boys 6 years and over to read the Torah and Haftara (except for Parashat Zakhor). In this, we follow the Rambam and Beit Yosef as brought in Shulhan Arukh.

Real or not, the kid is adorable!!! :-)

Seems like the next Simcha Levinson!!!

[Gruntig2008]

is he really 7?

how is he wearing tefilin and reading the torah at that age?

[100flyingfish]

@Gruntig2008 the tefillin are fake look at the decoration

[Gruntig2008]

@100flyingfish why do you say it's fake? it looks quite real to me! which decoration you talking about?

[100flyingfish]

@Gruntig2008 I dont know what the sephardic minhagim are, but the shin on the teffillin is painted a diff. color and the retzoo,oss/straps also don't look like the real deal

[tutmankingasher]

@Gruntig2008 its the yellow shin on the side, they are toy Tefillin...like for practice, and he'll be very comfortable in his real ones once he becomes a Bar Mitzva now haha
