4 Sholosh Seudot Halacha Discussion Reuven was walking down the street one night when a man came up to him with a strange request. Excuse me sir, he said. I can see that you are a religious Jew. I am the owner of this photo studio over here, and I would like to know if you could please help me put tefillin on a boy who just came in to pose for his bar mitzvah pictures. He can t manage to put them on by himself, and I don t know how to help him. Would you mind coming in for a few minutes to help? Since it is forbidden to wear tefillin at night (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 30:2), Reuven realized that the boy in question must be from a non religious family. In addition to the general prohibition against wearing tefillin at night, Reuven wondered if it might be disrespectful to the sanctity of tefillin to use them as a prop for a photo session. On the other hand, perhaps the pictures of their son putting on tefillin might encourage the parents to lead a more observant lifestyle. Should he help the boy put on tefillin to pose for his bar mitzvah pictures at night? What does the Torah say about such a situation? Shalosh Seuda Find out with Rabbi Rothman at ~
