The Joy of Tefillin

Hi,

"Abbaye was sitting before Rabbah, who saw that he was very happy. He said, "Is it not written, 'Rejoice in trembling!'" Abbaye replied: I am wearing tefillin.

"R' Yirmiyah was sitting before R' Zeira, who saw that he was very happy. He said, "Is it not written, 'In all sadness there is advantage!' R' Yirmiyah replied: I am wearing tefillin."

(Talmud, Berachot 30b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
