“… and may the abundance that flows from the mitzvah of tefillin extend to me so that I may have a long life with abundant sanctity”
Extremely important sacred item, tefillin straps – shel yad and shel rosh , with which the wonder-worker, the ga’ava”d of the Edah HaChareidit, Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund, bound himself to his Creator on a daily basis for many years (as confirmed in the attached authorization, and as can be clearly observed from the many usage marks on the straps themselves). We will point out that despite the many years of usage, these straps can be used to complete a new pair of tefillin, to be used with a blessing l’chatchilah .
The most important personal ritual object existent (although a sefer Torah is a sacred ritual object, it is a community ritual object) – the tefillin straps with which Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund would bind himself to his Creator on a daily basis during Tefillat Shacharit for many long hours, while pouring out his heart to Hashem in his famous prayers for the salvation of one and all, and during the many ritual circumcisions conducted in his beit midrash after the morning prayers, while he wore them during his role as sandek .
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the sacred gaon Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund, ga’ava”d of the Edah HaChareidit .
Pair of straps, shel yad and shel rosh , blackened on both sides. Including the original knots for shel yad and shel rosh .
Fine condition. Many usage marks and much wear as a result of their many years of use.
Confirmation of authenticity included (on a picture of the straps) written and signed by Rabbi Nachman Fuchs, disciple and close associate of Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund, faithfully attesting that these straps were heavily used by Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund, and that Rabbi Fuchs received them as a gift from Rabbi Moshe Aryeh.
