rivation Of the term "Tefillin"?
ANSWER: The term "Tefillin"
is the name used to denote the
phylacteries worn by men during
the daily morning prayers. This
term has a variety of explana-
tons. 1t was not used until the
time of the Talmud to denote this
concept. Some claim that. it is Of
Aramaic origin because Onkeles
used it in translating the term
"Totafot," different Hebrew roots.
Some trace it to a root meaning
to argue" or to debate" and
indicate that its use daily is the
significant argument in favor of
the individuals belief in the AL
mighty. Some trace it to a root
which would signify that it is a
Sign"
Others trace it to a logical word
"Tefillah" which means prayer in
Hebrew and explain that they are
so called because one thinks of
prayers when wearing them.
Some trace it to a root which
would indicate the feeling of
protection" meaning that the
Tefillin serve as means of pro-
tecting the individual from evil,
etc. Some compare it with the
Syriac root meaning to ATTACH"
or to "hang" and they would be
called thus because they are sat
tached" to ones body.

QUESTION: Why does Jewish
tradition prohibit using a ring
with stones in il for the wedding
ceremony?
ANSWER: A number of reasons
are offered. Many claim that the
reason lies in the fact that the
ring is the token. used for the
essential act of matrimony, called
"Kidushin." A plain metal band
cannot be misrepresented IS
easily as one with gems. Dia-
monds, as we'll as other precious
stones, may be misrepresented by
the use of glass. A marriage
which is contracted on the basis
of Misrepresentation is certainly
unsound. Also, its legality might
possibly be questioned.
Some claim that gems are not
used in the wedding ring so as
not to have a trough" surface in
the new marriage, but a smooth
one. Others claim that the reason
for not using precious stones is
based upon the principle of equal
ity. When it comes to gems poor
bride is likely to be embarrassed
because her rich neighbor re-
ceived a very expensive gem
while she has but a small one.
Therefore, it is claimed, the Rab-
bis did away with all gems so
that all brides would appear
equal since most everyone could
afford the plain metal band.
