Yemenite Way of Putting on Tefillin

In my first video of this kind I attempt to demonstrate one of the most ancient ways of wrapping the arm tefillin. I am doing this according to Yemenite custom. Yemenite customs are the oldest, most pure and untouched traditions of Judaism dating back to the second temple period.

Yes it's including shabat. The most important day of the week!

That's interesting. Allthough I'm not now 100% certain anymore. I asked my wife's grandfather who immigrated here when he was 15 and he says that they wrapped the arm the same way. You could still be right though as Yemeni Jews were in contact with the Jewish world on and off throughout the centuries and could have learned the wrapping of the arm from somewhere else.

I just want to not that I will edit later the description which says Yemenite customs go back to the second temple period...they are much older...they date back to the first temple period.

This is a very helpful tutorial, and your "ramblings" are a good thing because of the detail you go into to make the instructions clear.

Mazel tov on your marriage. May you enjoy a long, joyful life together.

@uriyah5771 I agree. Judaism is a religion now but in the past it was a race AND religion. In ancient times Jews in middle east and N Africa faced only religious persecution (because both looked the same) but later when Jews migrated more to Europe they faced racial and religious persecution. And Ashkanazi Jews in the PAST had more semetic blood than they have today.

[uriyah5771]

@ForgottenEasternJews Actually Ashkenazi DNA is very semetic with about 12% European inflow. But what does that have to do with anything? I think maybe you are generalizing. I am an Orthodox Ashkenazi Jew. All Ashkenazi Jews are not Reform. Why do you have to "look" semetic. To be Jewish is not a race to begin with it. It is a religion. And you can either be born into that religion via a Jewish mother or convert. That's a big reason why Ashkenazi Jews are very "white" because of conversion.
