The four Torah passages that are enclosed in Tefillin are written in Hebrew. From the ritual of Tefillin we learn that there is both “rational love” and “emotional love,” a love of the mind and a love of the heart. To appreciate how in Judaism, emotional love trumps rational love, read this enlightening thought entitled “Rational Love and Emotional Love: A Lesson from Tefillin” from Rabbi Ephraim Z. Buchwald’s Torah message on this week’s Torah portion, Bo. Out of respect for the Sabbath, please consider printing it on Friday afternoon if you plan to read it on Shabbat.
