You Opened My Heart
He lives in Washington DC. He is a professor teaching business in
Georgetown University. He was willing to put on tefillin and to read the
Shema but then wanted to take them off. Instead of helping him to take them
off, I gave him my usual instructions how to pray for his family … to thank
G-d …. Pray for the Jews in danger, and he stood there a long time with his
eyes closed.
When he finished and took off the tefillin he thanked me. I asked,
“What for?”
He looked totally different than he did before he prayed. His face
lighted up, “You showed me how to open my heart. I feel wonderful and
thankful. It was a very loving experience. You taught me to direct my heart
to Heaven.”
There were a few young Chabad *bouchurim* (yeshiva students) helping
with tefillin that afternoon and they heard him rave about his experience.
It was so timely as the students are being taught to just have the Jew to
put on tefillin and get the physical *mitzvah* without any concern
whatsoever for “directing their hearts to Heaven.”
