What does it mean for the person who was wearing them? What will happen as a result of all the bracha l&#8217;vatallas? Maybe when Eliyahu comes he [...]]]></description>

Although b&#8217;dieved if tefillin are not black they may still be used, there are those (reshonim) who hold that black battim is a halacha l&#8217;moshe m&#8217;sini (a law that was passed down orally from the times of Moshe), namely Tosafos, [...]]]></description>
