Jun 7, 2018 at 21:20 | comment | added | Alex | @J.Chang They actually do have really small tefillin (with the verses still written in parchment) that would probably fit between the eyes. | |
Jun 7, 2018 at 10:03 | comment | added | user4951 | If the thefilin is small enough, say the verses are written in microchips, and you wear that with diagonal strap, that would still work. Still can't help for the 3 though. The current way to use it seems more fashionable. | |
