The Lord's sunlight burns through the stained glass of the cathedral, but you bury your snouts in your books and tie on your phylacteries, yoke yourselves up to a lie Cohen argues that outsiders normally would not have identified Israelites by any customs, for example, special Israelite names, occupations, or distinctive dress, but he admits that the rabbis themselves considered tasseled fringes (tzitzit) and phylacteries (tefillin) specific to Israelites (Cohen 1999: 30-34). God had some "helps" for Israel: (1) "Wear "headbands," phylacteries, with the words of the Law written upon them; (2) Teach the words of the Law constantly to children, each generation learning from the one preceding; (3) Write the words of the Law on the doorposts of Israelite homes. |
