How Judaism's Most Sacred Prayer Object Is Made With 3000-Year-Old Techniques | Still Standing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2024
- One of the most sacred objects in Judaism is made of skin from a bull's neck. It’s called tefillin, and each black box contains scrolls that must be written by hand. Now demand for these prayer objects has soared since the latest war in Israel and Gaza that erupted on October 7th. Mostly from less religious Jews, including Israeli soldiers headed into battle. So, what does it say inside these little boxes? And why are so many people trying to get their hands on them?

Why Jews Strap On Hidden Scrolls To Pray | Still Standing | Business Insider

Wow this was so interesting to watch, I knew about the scroll inside but I always thought it was just a little wooden box.
There’s also the mezzuzah, which you put on your doorframe for protection. It also has a handwritten scroll inside. It’s very important the scrolls are handwritten. Buddhism (at least Mahayana Buddhism) has a similar thing about copying sutras by hand to study them.
it's disgusting, we should be boycotting these people

@@IMTEDD It’s not wooden, nor is it a box.
“It’s done the same way as it was 3,300 years ago” *said after an airbrush to paint and loads of modern machinery*
And that one guy had a digital clock!
The specs are the same. The fact that it must be handwritten is the same. The shaping process and drying of the leather - minus the heavy machinery. The materials that the final product is made of are the same.
I think they were meaning about the text and the handwriting
Typical Legalism
I grew up going to Plymouth Plantation, seeing a Pilgrim with a Timex and bag of McDonald’s was just part of the fun
The world's oldest tefillin was found in Qumran, Judean Desert, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. The tefillin probably belonged to one of the Jewish rebels during the Bar Kokhba revolt and is c. 2,000 years old.
Short correction at 2:55, you say that Torah scrolls contain the entire Hebrew Bible, which is not true. The Torah is only essentially 1/3 of the Hebrew Bible, with the other parts being the Neviim and Ketubim, the Prophets and Writings. The whole collection, what could be called the Hebrew Bible, is the Tanakh. Other than that, amazing video!
Glad someone else noticed, I came down to the comments for this... Also at 7:56 they said that the temple stood "Where the Al-aqsa Mosque is today" When they mean the dome of the Rock, the (Very pretty) shrine which might be considered part of the complex but not the Mosque. Basic schoolboy stuff we learned in a secular school at the ages of 11-13, but I doubt the highly educated people at Business Insider care.
Oh, so what part is the Talmud then? Sorry, I'm not familiar with these things (and I assume it's better to ask someone who knows rather than a random google search)
Don’t insult it by calling it the Bible. The Holy writings were old when the first bibles we written.
The proper transliteration of Writings in Hebrew is Ktuvim (כתובים)
@@sophronielThe Talmud is basically a centuries long religious discussion. There are many, many ways to interpret every section of the Tanakh. Even single words can be argued over. We Jews emphasise both learning and independent thought, both of which are expressed in Talmud. It's fascinating and incredibly enlightening.

I’m not Jewish but I was raised by an old Jewish man who served the US Army in WW2. I learned a lot from this man and have always respected the Jewish religion
No religion deserves respect : they are all lies.
At 7:49 Correction : the Temple was not located where is the Al Aqsa mosque is now, but where is the Dome of the Rock. Al Aqsa and Dome of the Rock are two totally different buildings on the Temple Mount.
Al Aqsa mosque is the entire complex counting the dome of the rock and the Al-Qibly mosque
No, it's just another one of the Zionist lies
This is actually incorrect. Only in recent years, maybe 10 years ago have the Palestinians started calling the entire complex "al aqsa" in order to legitimize the blood libles of "Jews infiltrating the mosque" which is a complete lie, namely because Jews have no interest whatsoever in that area of the mount (it's just a add on by king Herod the great) as it lacks any holiness.
You can actually find online maps from the Jordanians that occupied the Mount for 19 years and from the Jerusalem Imam "Al housaini"(who supplied the Nazis with 10,000 soldiers and tried bringing the final solution to the mandate of Palestine)with calling the dome of the rock "mount Moriah" and the mosque building "Al aqsa".
Facts are important.
@@someguy4512
@@someguy4512 "The Al Aqsa mosque COMPOUND is the entire complex..." FTFY
Al-Qibly is just another name for the mosque also known as Al-Aqsa which is at the southern edge of Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif. The Temple was more or less where the Dome of the Rock sits, with Al-Aqsa itself sitting outside the part considered "within" the Temple.
@@GaviLazan the temple isnt even there to began with

Hearing about and seeing these soldiers wear these into battle in Gaza doesn't really help Israel's image and messaging problems. They have already been accused of "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide", now seeing these soldiers (and listening to Israeli politicians cite the Torah to justify "exterminating Amalek") with the tefillin it's putting out vibes that this isn't just a war "against terrorism" but this is indeed a religious war.
11:44 literally videos of IDF forces doing this 50 years ago. How dare they pray risking their lives to defend themselves. There's no precedent of troops praying right 😂
Well... you kinda took tefillin out of context. it's more of a tradition. a lot of Israeli Jews wear it for protection and good luck. "If I'm going to fight, then I might as well pray so I can feel god is with me and maybe protect me". As for the politicians... listen... they are idiots, ignorant and dangerous, but they are not in charge of the war decisions (thank god). They take the bible and religion and tarnish it, cowards and disgraceful. But it is not a religious war, not for the people in charge and for most solders. It's a fight for existence.
Read the comment again
It is a religious war, at least as much as it is for any other cause. Israel is a Jewish state with a minority of Muslims and Christians, at least in power. In Gaza lives mostly Muslims and a minority of Christians. Hamas is an Islamic organization, its very seal being the Dome of the Rock (the mosque built over the Temple in Jerusalem), framed by two swords (symbols of violent struggle) and the Shahada (the core pledge and creed of Islam). The very seal of Hamas is a statement that Jerusalem is not for the Jews.
If you are 90% of one religion and your enemy is 100% of another, that shapes your whole worldview. Neither side can make a legitimate argument that the fight is purely for secular reasons.
No, the whole premise of this war is one of both ethnicity and religion. Any other narrative is not complete. Claiming it’s about politics, sovereignty and liberty is about as cogent an argument as saying the US civil war was about states’ rights.
You expect the Jewish soldiers to pray without Tefillin?

This was such an interesting video to watch. Tefillin have always held a kind of curious fascination for me. And I find it so beautiful that the Jewish tradition considers the color black to have ties to the Divine, that he/she exists in the universe as a complete whole and is not separate or divided from anything. Which means that the Divine is not separate from us as humans, or from anything natural in this world as the color is found everywhere in nature. That is beautiful.
I went to that exact shop to get my Tefillin when I was 13! Crazy they're still around!
How long ago was that?

But I do as an outsider think all the rules are meaningless but I suppose historically they’ve emerged as a part of the faith
Also I can’t help but notice that the black cube is the same as the Islamic black cube
I find it unbelievably depressing that Christianity, Judaism and Islam are so similar in so many ways and yet seem to forever be in conflict, over all the ways they’re different
yeah, it be nice if everyone could just chill
As long as there is two people and they have different interests, there will always be conflict . . . Right Caine
They're not very similar. There are some foundational similarities but they have different foundational differences at the heart of each faith. Your point is equivalent to saying,''wow, liberal democracy and communism are so similar but they have always been in conflict so much.''
@@ash9280 Islam, Catholicism and Jewish faiths all have similar iconography and symbolism
At the foundation of all three it’s the worship of Baal, Saturn and Osiris

It’s actually a really interesting subject… the old Vatican, Catholic and Masonic writings of how Catholicism is embedded within Islam and so forth

That's why the ancient scrolls they find contain the same as new ones.
Why must the scrolls in the tefillin be written by hand?
because each letter needs to be written with the intention of making it for tefillin, so is all the rest of the process of making the tefillin, that's why for example, the machines shaping the housing for the parchments are hand cranked and not motorized.
Well, now I know the answer (and more) to something I always wondered about, but didn't have a Jewish friend that I could ask about it.

When you say the "most religious" were the only ones to use it, you imply that there is more faith or belief in using it, when really its arbitrary tradition. No jew is more or less religious for using tefilin. More traditional? More strict? More orthodox? Yes. yes. yes. But these word choices are important and where the line stands between bad and good "infotainment"
What is it to be a religious Jew except to follow the Torah, the word of G-d? This is not to say measuring 1-for-1 against individuals' actions, which would not be good, but people who don't follow mitzvos or learn Torah are necessarily further from G-d. One cannot treat that as a one-way-street any more than a marriage is; if you are married but neglect your spouse or cheat etc., you can't still claim to be the same as a devoted husband/wife
It's not just a matter of religion per se, but simply that being an honest person means following guidelines / rules. This is true of being an employee, a good citizen, etc.
Good comment, outward religious displays mean nothing to God.
He is concerned with the heart. He wants our heart to be circumcised, there is a deeper meaning to every Commandment and Jesus Christ showed us the true religion...

En realidad en la Torá no dice que te hagas una cajita con textos dentro. Solo dice que la ley de Dios tiene que estar DENTRO de tu corazón y que tenías que recordarla COMO si la tuvieras atada al brazo con una cinta, no es algo literal.

The Torah commands it in Deuteronomy 6:8: "And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for ornaments between your eyes."

1.Why do we put the arm Tefillin on first? 2.Why do we wear Tefillin only during the day? 3. Why is Tefillin black?
2. There are people who try to wear tefillin the entire day, especially if they are learning Torah. You need to take them off to go to the bathroom
its a cult to the black cube a.k.a Saturn (satan)
Great question! The arm box represents heart (is located opposite it) and the head box represents our thoughts. Hence we start with heart/action bc that is what counts, the reasoning will follow. We only wear them during the day because they are meant to serve as cognitive reminders of the unity of G-d, and hence we do not have that ability at night which is the time for sleep. They are black because G-d told Moses that that is how He desires for this commandment to be done. Side note, unity of G-d means that G-d is everything and everyone, not just that there is one G-d and we are separate. Good luck! All the best

It's not an exercise or a way to keep tradition, the ways used are the only permitted ways to make such things, inspecting using a computer does not conflict
@@edoer776 "Permitted ways" sounds like a synonym for "tradition" or its twin "religion". I get your argument that using a computer for inspection isn't part of the process of making the object per se. But it still feels like low key cheating since technology is making the work more accurate.
Come to think of it, if the computer inspection shows the product is defective, the product will be scapped. In the old days, that product would've passed inspection. So it does have an influence on the product even though it isn't part of the manufacturing process per se.
Steel hydraulic press, ancient 3000 year old techniques
So that's what those boxes are, interesting!
5:58 Is that a schwas I see? That makes sense though
"The war between Israel and gaza"
It isn't much of a war when only one side has a real army but alright.
No kidding. Israel is committing a literal genocide as well, but let’s make a video about religious garb
Then what is Hamas?
@numbersstationsarchive194 not even close to the idf in terms of abilities, funding, or track record of absolute horrors.
@@Steelwind666 And October 7th wasn't an "absolute horror"? You realize you are supporting a terror organization whose slogan is "Death to America"?
@@numbersstationsarchive194 what he said. But I doubt you’ll have any good response, nothing excuses the IDF genocide.
Wow amazing documentary and so good to see long Jewish history and faith is still kept alive.❤
What if the scribes accidently made a mistake while writing? Will they redo the process again or erase it with a special material?
4:13
Let's just say... It's a BIG pain. They have to fix the mistake, and rewrite everything that was written after it.
Depends on a few factor.
The specific item
When they found the mistake
If it is even fixable
Price from 450 to 2500 wow that is good business my friend
It depends on the quality of the calligraphy.
I see a airbrush painting the black box, didn’t know this technology existed 3000 years ago
And the high tech humidifier
And a modern razor blade
And the computer doing a final check
And the .20mm pen
And the hydraulic press
And the lathe
They modernized it with newer technology, but they still kept the overall design and purpose the same.
Jewish technology doesn't cease to amaze.
Seeing how these are made is Beautiful the craftsmanship, attention to detail. Bringing beauty to such a simple object that holds such a powerful reminder to live our lives in holiness each and every day.
I love the sound of the blade passing over the skin, early in the video. Great sound lol
Are they allowed to use computers for print jobs? I dunno, I think that may help in being able to speed up the process
And here I always thought the boxes were actually made of wood. Crazy craftsmanship
Printed clafim are posul
No, they cannot print the scrolls on a computer. The rules of their manufacture specifically state that the scrolls must be made a certain way, & by hand. I guess that's the quirk of being a strictly religious item.
No, they scrolls have to be handwritten, they can and do use a computer to scan the scroll for any mistakes
No they can't, because each letter needs to be written with the intention of making it for tefillin, so is all the rest of the process of making the tefillin, that's why for example, the machines shaping the housing for the parchments are hand cranked and not motorized.
5:00 Tech come in at last to check again for accuracy
Very interesting to learn about these traditions and customs. I can not wait until there is peace. I would love to visit the holy land.
Nothing holy about it
People who were thinking it as a gopro of the ancient times must have well educated themselves about tefflin after watching that video.
They keep everything traditional because it's in the law.. But they're allowed the change the box material from sheep to bull leather. Makes sense.
As they said in the video, their law states that it has to be from a kosher animal. So I suppose it could be leather from, goat or deer even.
The "west bank" is a sad name for the region of Judea And Samaria - the cradle of the Jewish people. The west bank refers to the river Jordan and was given by the British Empire. Bet El is a town dates all the way back to biblical times...
