How Judaism's Most Sacred Prayer Object Is Made With 3000-Year-Old Techniques | Still Standing
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 05. 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.

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.

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 "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.

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 a fascinating video. Thank you for sharing it!❤

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
The black cube for example is just one of the symbols of Saturn, which is seen in Islam, Catholicism, Judaism and also Masonic
It’s actually a really interesting subject… the old Vatican, Catholic and Masonic writings of how Catholicism is embedded within Islam and so forth

Or many jews were forced by the european nobilities to perform banking tasks. The bankers desk were low and the banker had to pivit his torso to write in a cleaner way.
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...

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.
At 14:28 the strap from a tefillin makes a whoosh sound as it's uncoiled, was that added in post?

Not related 100% to this, but because each Torah scroll is unique in how it's written, in the US at least, they are scanned and if stolen, can be recovered when someone tries to sell it.
Given the modern world, I would use computer vision to scan a finished document and find any syntax error. The text is supposed to be the same all the time, so that's an easy task that can be done in a second, instead of having a person reading the whole thing (who can make a mistake also), considering that they're in such a rush to finish things now. It doesn't make much sense to be so restrictive if they are already using a lot of _modern machinery_ to do all these things, only to mention one or two things to say "It's done the same way as thousands of years ago". NO, it's NOT. Fixing the text with an electronic hand-held eraser. Shaving the parchment with a commercial stainless steel blade. If you're not writing it with a feather, "like 3000 years ago", then the kosher ink demand is already unnecessary because you're using a ceramic tip pen. All this "authentic" stuff is hyped with no merit.

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

@@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.
Yall being bitching about their culture.. if internet is down, yall doing nothing but panic.. 😂
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
The war ERUPTED 😂 it's not a war!
This Video isn't very accurate.
The actual work process is modernize and did not remain the same while the Tfilin's technical specs did.
The ink has a specific formula, deviations form it happened only under duress during periods and places where Jewish people were hunted and could not have access to materials.
I would recommend doing a more loyal research before posting a video on such a sensitive topic.
Thanks!
Let us all turn the darkness to light! Amen
A video about Jews......... i am sure the comments will be normal and civilized.
I sure hope not :)
Normal and civilized doesn't really enter the israeli context. You've all shown us that over the past six months. The victim narrative will never work again, and from here on out, it will be you who are on the defensive as to why you're such a violent, barbaric society.
@@amalayum don't cut yourself on all that edge, a lot of Jews are doctors after all, right? Wouldn't want you to have to choose between being a dick or staying alive when the rot takes over your brain. 😘
Im from indonesia and we mostly have negative view on jew but the amount of people that watch this and leave negative comment shock me
No wonder west always talk about culture or race, u guys have a very low tolerence on other people belief
Why do you hate Jews?
none of this was the way they did it 3000 years ago. typical liars
Awesome craftsmanship
Very interesting
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.
So that's what those boxes are, interesting!
8:30 Pov: my sim in the sims 4 speaking
8:00 actually the dome of the rock is there now. Al Aqusa is on the other side of the Temple Mount
And now you know.
Mecca's black stone actually comes from Judaism
Nope. It has pagan origins.
God doesnt care about you or anyone else doing things by hand from thousands of years ago or by bowing and saying words over n over again. His desire is for ALL of us to be going out and spreading the Word of God, and not being concerned with mere rituals which arent going to truly reach God or truly reach the hearts of people who dont believe in Him. There is SO MUCH more important work that we are to be doing for our God of ALL gods and King of ALL kings
Religion really is one of humanitiest biggest blunders ever
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.
Dude, just get a paper one! That' too much of drama you are doing only to look swoppy while wearing it on your heads!!
They can do that.
I don’t know about Jewish tradition. But I think it’s necessary that they do this, for the sake of Judaism and god.
Now I sound like I’m religious too right?
@@JuanThaSilva Does "god" really care about all of that?
@@oliveryt7168 We are commanded to do so: Deuteronomy 6:8: "And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for ornaments between your eyes."
5:00 Tech come in at last to check again for accuracy
Yeah idk they must have changed the way they make it nowadays cz it's not working how its supposed to.
