An amazing Mivtzah Tefillin Karkafta happened today in Oholei Torah School in Crown Heights.
The principals arranged a Mega Hakhel for the entire school from Pre1A – 8th grade (around 950 students) in honor of Purim.
The entertainment was by illusionist T. J. Tana.
“I offered him to put on Tefillin,” said Principal Rabbi Yehoshua Lustig. “He told me that he never put on Tefilin in his life! He then agreed to put on Tefilin, after his show, on the stage, in front of everyone, as long as it’s recorded for his mother to see.”
The entire school and staff danced with him. A very large and beautiful Bar Mitzvah it was!
After the dancing and celebrating, the staff in Oholei Torah came together and bought him a pair of Tefilin.
“I want to thank Rabbi Yehoshua Lustig and the extended family at the Oholei Torah – Oholei Menachem in Brooklyn!” Tana, who performs his illusionist and magic acts around the United States, told COLlive. “This was truly an exciting and special time that I will never forget.”
This was incredible to watch!
I’m crying.

my sons in pre 1a and 1st grade came home talking about the huge bar mitzva…to them that was the whole purpose of the hakhel event litterally
למען ישמעו ולמען ילמדו ויראו את ה אלקיכם ושמרו לעשות את כל דברי התורה הזאת
My son is in the first grade at OT, he came home yesterday and didn’t mention anything about the illusionist only about the incident of a Jewish boy who was bar mitzvahed and How he put on teffilin for the first time in front of everyone!! It was a special moment for everyone there. All the boys were dancing in a circle around the bar mitzvah boy, he told me! He was thrilled to be part of your big day TJ! Mazal Tov!
Thank you OT for the great education you provide, everyday!
