Yeshivas Lubavitch Cincinnati, directed by the Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Gershon Avtzon, was visited the the TAP (Tefillin Awareness Program) team. The TAP Team – which includes a Sofer Stam and a Batim Macher and the director Rabbi Schachter, visit – for a minimal fee – Yeshivos, Shuls and Batei Midrash all across the country.
They check to make sure that the Tefillin are being worn in the right place and that the Batim and Retzuos are all Kosher. While checking the Tefillin of the Bochurim, many Halachik issues were found and some were able to be fixed on the spot.
Examples of Halachik issues that were found: 1) A Sofer that had checked a pair of Tefillin and mistakenly painted the bottom of the Bayis, thus making it a Chatzitza. 2) Many of the Tefillin were not sown up tightly – thus creating issues of “Ribua”. 3) Some Bochurim had chips in the Bayis from Tefillin falling and had to be repaired. 4) Many Bochurim had their Tefillin set below their hairline. 5) Many Retzuos were worn out and needed painting.
The Yeshiva thanks Mr. Yosef Zoiman, a local community Askan, for arranging the visit.
