back in the days they would use a rock and break glass into people’s cars to steal radios I have a crazy question why would a black man want to steal Tefillin? and over the past few months they’ve been stealing packages from other properties

7:45 am. He was going to daven. Lol. All joking aside. Leaving any visible item of value. Is an invitation for theft. Besides, tefillian in a car is detrimental to the tefillan. The heat may may damage the parshiois.

When is it enough with this people?

Nearly every crime in the CH community is committed by them along with those that are not caught… Isn’t it time to move them out

Aside from the fact that they can be stolen a sofer told me that heat and cold cause the letters to fade or crack

once a guy saw a black guy selling tefillin for a very large sum of money. Instead of paying he said ok i will buy it. After looking at it he said, one second- i see the part that goes on the head and the part that goes on one arm but where is the part that goes on the other arm? Not knowing what to reply, the jew said- forget it it’s not worth anything now! So the guy said ok I will sell it to you for $10 which the jew happily agreed to pay… I heard it… Read more »
