מנהג הנחת תפילין עתיק יומין שנשתמרה ע"י בית האב ה-'בני אביר' של ק"ק יהודי חבאן יוצאי תימן, כשם שנלמד מן ה-אלוף אביר מארי יחיא יהושע אבנר סופר מעטוף-דוח אל-חבאני שליט"א. הארה: המוסיקה היא בבלית, לא תימנית.

The ancient method of wrapping Tefillin, as preserved by
the Banei Abir clan of Habbani Yemenite Jewry. Note: the music is Iraqi, not Yemenite.

  • I'm confused. Was this video horizontally flipped? I thought the Tefillin is to be wrapped around the LEFT arm. Am I wrong on this?

  • That is for a right-handed individual. A left-handed individual must tie on his right arm. That isn't only according to Mishneh Torah, but Shulhhan `Arukh and Mishneh Berurah... it is common knowledge.

  • Isn't the shel rosh supposed to be at the hair line? Nice video

  • Thank you. Yes, above and up against the hairline. (see M"T, hil. Tefillin, Mezuzoth & S"T). That is the line at the base of the hair where it stops growing. If it were more forward, the tefillah would not cover the place of a baby's soft spot -- the other sign of the place. In the vid, the mori's hair is long, so you can't determine his true hair line. Some err placing the tefillin too far forward: It is not only the wrong spot, it causes overhang, so the tefillah doesn't sit properly.

  • wow. this is so awsome. I am Breslov.

  • @riversstreamsYour explanation sounds good but I was told there is a different answer.

    A person who is right handed puts it on the left hand so the right hand is free to fight if you are attacked.

  • Im left handed as well, but tell you the truth its hard to see and understand how he put it on. The last part is the same as Sefardic way, except he took the straps back below the hand and not on the hand itself.

  • B"H

    kind of off topic ,

    but where can one get that style of clothing? ie. the turban and kutonath

    cant get traditional Temanim clothing where i live and cant find anywhere online.

    if some one could point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

  • Yasher koach.

    Baruch Hashem I never dreamed that our generation would merit to rediscover such powerful tefillah.

    Thank G-d for the ancient HaBani tradition and it's preservation. May we merit to renew our connection with all of the holy practices of our ancestors to help us bring about the will of Hashem for His world and the world to come.

  • @riversstreams

    left hand put tefilin in right hand

  • Hmmm...can anyone explain why he is wrapping himself up? I am sorry for my ignorance but this is new to me :)

  • Is it possible to wrap that way with Ashkenazic Tefillin?

    It would be great if you guys could do a video showing how to wrap that way, step-by-step.

  • @0Hakann0 ... Adon Ôlam, from the prayer book (Siddur). It's not a song.

  • Can anyone tell me what was the song/ritual sang in the beginning of the video? The title and the name of the song would be appreciated as well.
