| Jun 11, 2015 at 5:29 | comment | added | user3342 | ...I know personally that that guy is sincere, but his "beth midrash" does not exist, neither does his "community," and the rest is just hype. It's like those people who get sucked into every conspiracy theory and health trend that there is and swear by it. My advice is to stick with authentic Yemenites and those who authentically bear the tradition, like Rav Rasson Arusi, Rav Elyaqim Ssadoq, Rav Mahfudh, et al. Hope this helps. Kol Tuv. | |
| Jun 11, 2015 at 5:26 | comment | added | user3342 | @Aaron - The fact is that there is no "secret mesora" of any clan on how to wrap the straps of the t'philin. Rather, they had family traditions like Jews from other parts of the world did. I have seen a great many variations by Yemenites, both similar and dissimilar to what is shown in the video you posted. The truth is that they did not give too much thought to these things unless they were inclined to follow the Qabbala. Everyone else just made sure they fulfilled the conditions of the Rambam in the MT. And the Rambam himself in a t'shuva says that it can be wrapped around the wrist. Kol tuv | |

The problem is that the guy in the video, the "Abir clan" of "Habbani warriors," and making paleo-Hebrew letters with your straps are all phoney. I am telling you from personal experience with these matters. Real Habaanim look much like their Baladi and Shaami counterparts. Here is a video of real Habaanim: youtube.com/watch?v=ECxODKOo_P8 | |
| Jun 9, 2015 at 21:10 | comment | added | MoriDowidhYa3aqov | its worthy mentioning that if people wore the tafillin all day the palm should be free so wrapping the last straps around the wrist makes more sense than the middle of the hand | |
| Jun 9, 2015 at 21:09 | comment | added | MoriDowidhYa3aqov | @Aaron non habbani teimonimtie the same way except they wrap the last wraps on the middle of the hand and not around the wrist. safaradim other mizrahim tie the same way except the make the line with the strap around their thumb instead of making a paleo hebrew dol(triangle). they dont make the sheen and i dont think other teimonim make the sheen as well now a days but they mightve before i didnt do research on how they made the sheen on the hand that much. just that i know both mizrahim/safaradim and teimonim tie the same and both are paleo hebrew in a sense | |

| Jun 5, 2015 at 18:45 | comment | added | Aaron | It should be. The halacha is that the writing and everything else should be ashuri. But how you wind/wrap the tefillin is minhag, so technically you could do it almost anyway you wanted. (Although i think there might be a halacha that one needs at least 7 wrappings) | |
