For almost four thousand years, Jews have been putting on Tefillin.
It is a daily mitzvah for Jewish males over the age of Bar Mitzvah, when Jewish men mark their rite of passage into adulthood at the age of thirteen.
Tefillin have kept us company during our wanderings to the four corners of the earth - both on the tranquil waters of peace, and on the stormy seas of tragic times. Always, in every place and at all times, Jews have guarded their Tefillin with courage and pride, and the Mitzvah of Tefillin has in turn guarded the Jews.
The Missoula Tefillin Project endeavors to assist every Jewish male in and around Missoula with this precious and sacred mitzvah.
