תפילין
Tefillin consist of two leather boxes (batim) containing parchments on which the sofer wrote the four Torah passages mentioning the commandment of tefillin, and straps (retzuot). Kashrut depends on all three elements: parchments, batim and straps.

How to choose a mezuzah or tefillin?
Gassot batim are made from a single piece of thick leather; they are the sturdiest, can be repaired and stay square for decades. Peshutim mehudarim are also made from a single piece of leather, but thinner: a kosher, budget-friendly option.
We offer all four scripts (Ashkenazi, Sefarad, Ari Zal, Admur Hazaken) as well as Rabbeinu Tam tefillin. Every pair ships with a certificate, a case and wearing instructions.
Gassot are made from one piece of thick leather, very durable and repairable; they are the mehudar standard. Peshutim mehudarim are also one piece but thin leather: kosher and cheaper, less durable. Avoid plain "peshutim" glued from several pieces.
At least 2 to 3 months before the date: writing the parchments and making the batim takes several weeks, and the boy should practice putting them on before he is obligated.
