An observant Jew is wrapping the hand-tefillin on an arm of another man at the Western Wall. Tefillin (also called phylacteries) are a set of two leather boxes; it contains four passages from the Torah written on scrolls of parchment which are placed inside the boxes - a single one in the arm-tefillin and four separate scrolls in the head-tefillin. Jews wear phylacteries in memory of the biblical exodus from Egypt and also to stimulate the spiritual evolution. Tefillin are worn mainly during the morning prayers on weekdays.
