Tefillin need to be square, a dent in one of the corners can make them no longer Kosher. They do not have to be pointy on the corners, however if you, your son or husband have a serious dent like in the picture below, or if you are not sure how severe it is, bring them in right away to be inspected and if necessary fixed. Sometimes nicks and dents can go undetected, which is one of the reasons why it is important to have Tefillin checked on a yearly basis. If that is not feasible then at least once every 5-7 years. Remember; always handle Tefilin over a table or surface to prevent them from falling to the ground. It is also important to stay away from walls or low ceilings while wearing them.

Out of the thousands of Tefillin we have checked we have found this only a handful of times... For this reason alone, it is important to have your Tefillin checked regularly... How many more years could he have gone on wearing problematic Tefilin?! Do your Tefillin need to be refurbished? Our Tefillin expert will make them look as good as new!   Great Grandfather Tefillin. Someone wanted to gift this to his grandson to use for his upcoming Bar Mitzvah.
It is a great family heirloom, but not kosher to wear. The Parchment, straps and boxes are all worn out, faded and cracked and no longer Kosher. You wouldn't give him Great Grandpa's worn out overalls to wear... same applies here. |
