This collection holds a Tefillin, two small black boxes, each containing specific passages from the Torah, that Orthodox Jewish
males over the age of thirteen traditionally wear during prayer services. The wearing of Tefillin is considered a mitzvah,
or good deed. Judith Baron donated the Tefillin, this was her great-great-grandfather. This Tefillin has been in her family
for many generations. Her great great grandfather was originally from Weimar, Germany. He passed it down to Benjamin Goldman,
who is Judith's great grandfather. During the beginnging of Nazi influences, Benjamin Goldman fled Germany with the Tefillin
to Missouri. The Tefillin is stored in a black velvet pouch with a purple Star of David..
