Woke up this morning, showered, dressed, went into the living room put on my tefillin (phylacteries) and davened (prayed.)

I haven't done that in far too long, to be honest. Not sure why, either, but it was good.

I really don't know what to say here. On the one hand, I wish I could buy kosher phyllacteries and use them. On the other hand, I sometimes forget to say the Shema. Night and morning? I usually manage one of the two. How lame is that?

I encourage you to get back in the habit, though, if it felt good for you. :)

Not to mention that Kosher tefillin are rather emphatically not cheap. My first pair was a multi-generational hand-me-down, and the second was a graduation present.

(Gee, kind of like Ron's wands in the HP books, but I digress)

If you'd like to borrow mine sometime, let me know and I could drop by one morning.

I've never leined tfilin. And I own a pair. It was my great-granduncle's set. It was left to my granfather, who gave it to me. And I've never used 'em. I'd like to learn how.

Online "how-to" sites that I've seen aren't very good, your best bet could be to find someone who knows how, and have them show you.
