    Should One Maintain Constant Awareness of the Tefillin While Wearing Them

    Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 10, 2025


    The Halacha below was derived from multiple classes orated by Rabbi Eli Mansour in the Bekiim B'Halacha series. Click on any of the dates below to hear the original audio files, which are the sources for today's Halacha below. 05-20-2025 ; 05-21-2025 ; 05-22-2025 Should One Maintain Constant Awareness of the Tefillin While Wearing Them? This Halacha explores a fundamental aspect of wearing Tefillin: the requirement to remain mentally aware of the Tefillin while they are on. What level of concentration does Halacha demand? Does distraction invalidate the Misva? And what daily practices help us meet this obligation? We will examine opinions from the Rambam, Ben Ish Hai, and other Poskim, along with practical examples of proper behavior while wearing Tefillin. Maintaining this awareness is not simply about reverence. It reflects a deep, continuous bond with Hashem during the time the Tefillin are worn. The focus required is not only external respect—like refraining from laughter or lightheadedness—but also internal mindfulness. This internal state expresses the core idea that Tefillin are not just objects we wear; they are active symbols of our devotion and submission to Hashem. What Does "Hesah Hadaat" Mean When It Comes to Tefillin? The Torah commands us to wear Tefillin as a sign between us and Hashem. But the Sages further teach that while the Tefillin are on a person's body, one must maintain a level of awareness and reverence toward them. This is called Hesah Hadaat – a lapse of focus or consciousness. According to the Rambam and the stringent view followed by Maran and the Ben Ish Hai, a person should maintain constant awareness of the Tefillin and avoid any activities or behaviors that reflect frivolity or lightheadedness. This includes joking, social banter, or idle chatter. Even while praying The Amidah, where the focus is technically on the words of the prayer, one must avoid mentally wandering to unrelated topics. That too is considered Hesah Hadaat . However, other Rishonim, like the Rosh and the Tur, take a more lenient approach. They argue that as long as a person is not engaging in disrespectful or lightheaded behavior, it is acceptable to be mentally occupied with mundane matters. They draw proof from the Halacha that one may sleep while wearing Tefillin, implying that constant cognitive attention is not required. Nonetheless, the accepted practice, especially among Sepharadim, is to follow the stricter opinion of the Rambam—that mental focus must be retained throughout the duration of wearing Tefillin. Can One Drive with Tefillin On? This question highlights a common dilemma: If a person wants to fulfill the custom of arriving at the synagogue already wearing Tefillin, can he put them on at home and drive to Shul? On one hand, driving demands attention and would seem to constitute Hesah Hadaat . On the other hand, the act of driving is not inherently disrespectful, and it would be only for a short time. Moreover, entering the synagogue already wearing Tefillin brings great merit—the angels escort such a person. Therefore, while ideally one should avoid this situation, there is room to be lenient and allow driving to Shul with Tefillin on, especially for a short drive, relying on the lenient opinions in the Rishonim. How Long Is a "Lapse" That Counts as Hesah Hadaat? Some authorities define Hesah Hadaat as lasting the time it takes to walk four Amot (approximately 6-7 feet), which equates to just a few seconds. Others extend the timeframe to the time it takes to walk 100 Amot—about 54 seconds. In practice, a person should try to "check in" mentally at least every minute. If one finds himself mentally distracted for longer than a minute while wearing Tefillin, that could constitute a lapse. Talking, joking, or daydreaming while wearing Tefillin is highly discouraged. What Practices Help Avoid Hesah Hadaat? Touching and Kissing the Tefillin: It is customary to touch the Tefillin during key parts of prayer when they are mentioned (e.g., Ukeshartam Le'ot ). One should then kiss their fingers. This is an expression of love and awareness. Holding the Shalyad: The Ben Ish Hai recommends holding the Tefillin Shel Yad (the arm Tefillin) throughout the Shema to increase awareness and prevent distraction. Avoiding Idle Talk: Many righteous individuals accept upon themselves not to speak at all while wearing Tefillin, especially outside of prayer-related matters. Custom Visual Cues: Some communities place the word "Tefillin" at the top of their Siddur pages to help maintain awareness. Short Reminders During Prayer: Quietly repeating to oneself, "I am wearing Tefillin," during pauses in prayer can serve as a mental reset to regain focus. Summary Maintaining awareness of the Tefillin while wearing them is a Torah value with practical consequences. According to the Rambam and Maran, mental focus must be retained the entire time, even during prayer. Distractions such as joking, daydreaming, or unrelated conversation are inappropriate. Practices like touching the Tefillin, visual cues, holding the Shel Yad during Shema, and mentally checking in throughout the prayer service can help fulfill this obligation and elevate the experience of this precious Misva.

    Prayer and Introduction Opening prayer expressing gratitude and seeking wisdom, discernment, and a joyful pursuit of God. Focus on the universal presence of God (omnipresence). God is everywhere, filling everything. Encouragement to seek God with one's whole heart. Experiencing spiritual joys by moving in and out of the spiritual world, which exists parallel to the physical world. Constant pursuit of God, trying to apprehend Him. Hearing Him The Speaking Voice John 1:1 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." The voice of God is a crucial reality. God's voice is more than just the Bible; it's the expression of His will spoken into all things. God's word is the breath of God, filling the world with living potential. The voice of God is the most powerful force in nature. Example: God spoke, "Let there be light," and there was light. The Bible is the inerrant word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit. The voice of God is not limited to the printed word. The greatest joy is hearing God's voice. Adam heard God's voice even after running from Him. Elijah heard God in a still, small voice after wind, fire, and earthquake. The importance of hearing God's voice for believers. The Bible is confined to ink, paper, and leather, but God's voice is not limited. Experiencing times of clearly hearing God and times when it's difficult. The soul is moved by the truth that God speaks to individuals. Some wake up hearing God speak. If one has never heard God's voice, they may not be saved. The drawing power of the Holy Spirit opens ears to hear God's voice. "You will know Him when He speaks." Sometimes God's voice booms, sometimes it's still and small. Preaching is near to hearing God speak. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. John 6:63 - "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." The unique power of God's voice. "My sheep hear My voice." God is not silent today; He has always spoken. Encouragement to trust that you will recognize God's voice when He speaks. The present voice of God makes the written word powerful. God speaks a book and lives in His spoken words. Even those who haven't heard of the Bible have been preached to sufficiently. Hearing Him is a necessity in the pursuit of God. The joy in the journey is hearing Him speak. Battles fought and the difficulty of overcoming the veil over hearts. Seeing Him: The Gaze of the Soul Hebrews 12:2 - "Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith." Seeing God is not with physical eyes but spiritually. To see God, one must worship Him in spirit and in truth. One must be born again to have the spirit of Christ and see Him. Faith is essential for seeing God. Without faith, it's impossible to please God, approach God, or have forgiveness, deliverance, salvation, communion, or spiritual life. Faith is a gift from God and comes by hearing the Word of God. Numbers 21:8 - "Everyone that is bitten, when he looketh upon it shall live." John 3:14-15 - "Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Looking and believing are synonymous. Faith is the gaze of the soul upon God. The danger of creating graven images of Jesus. Example: Being spooked by seeing the actor who played Jesus in "The Chosen" when closing eyes to sleep. The commandment against making graven images. When gazing upon God, no image comes back, but a bit of glory is seen. Faith causes us to take our eyes off the world and look into the spiritual realm. Believing is directing the heart's attention to Jesus. Faith is lifting the mind to behold the Lamb of God. At first, gazing upon God may be difficult, but it becomes easier with practice. Distractions may hinder, but the heart will return to Him. Constant pursuit of God trains souls to gaze upon His per...

    Distraction kills our purpose. It keeps us from focusing on what we truly want by throwing our attention to other things.   Social media offers a new type of distraction for humanity and we are experiencing the repercussions. So how do we know if our own social media habits are hurting us? How do we assess we need a break? And then how do we actually take one?   Our guest on the podcast this week, Allie Smith, gives us true and firm words about how social media use can impact quality of life. She also offers some ways to take a break, or "fast", or simply to turn down the volume of the virtual noise. It takes some humility and discernment to look at our own use and how it may be distracting us to a point of trouble.   If you log on to a social media account on a regular basis, this is a great listen.

Refusing to come down, he modeled what it means to stand firm in the face of pressure and stay faithful to God's mission.

    In this episode of Productivity Smarts, Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Cindy Baker, productivity coach, speaker, and author of Focus to Fortune: Profitable Time Management for Busy Minds. With a background in education and counseling, and a deep understanding of how ADHD impacts daily life, Cindy helps entrepreneurs cut their work time in half by eliminating distractions and leveraging their neurodiverse strengths for better results in less time. Cindy shares how a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis reshaped her approach to focus, structure, and productivity. Drawing from personal experience and years of coaching, she reveals why traditional productivity hacks often fail for ADHD minds and what to do instead. Gerald and Cindy explore how time audits expose hidden inefficiencies, how to implement 90-minute sprints to access deep focus, and how to use the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize work that drives real impact. They also tackle how to set boundaries, say no without guilt, and build lasting habits through simple techniques like habit stacking. Rather than trying to “fix” ADHD, Cindy encourages listeners to reframe it as a competitive advantage; one that, with the right tools and mindset, can fuel purpose, profitability, and balance. If you're overwhelmed by distractions or want a productivity system that works with your brain and not against it, this episode is your starting line.

Instead of focusing on what needs fixing, ask what are the strengths, and how can you leverage those?” – Cindy  [07:13] "Awareness is the first step. And so if you don't understand where your time is going and how you're wasting time, then you can't fix it.” – Cindy [23:35] "Every time you say yes to one thing, you're saying no to something else; often yourself.” – Cindy [25:24] “Habit stacking is really helpful. For instance, I used to lose my keys all the time, so I started to put my keys in a coffee mug that I keep by the coffee maker, and I always have coffee. I don't have to think about that the night before.” – Cindy Our Guest Cindy Baker is a productivity coach, speaker, and advertising strategist who helps entrepreneurs maximize profits and performance — especially those managing ADHD.

    In a world of digital overload, short-form media, and AI-powered personalization, staying focused has never been harder. Today, the average attention span on any screen is just 47 seconds. What's causing this decline in focus, and what should educators do about it?Those are some of the questions we discuss with Dr. Gloria Mark, UC Irvine informatics professor and author of Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity. Dr. Mark explains the psychology behind attention, including the difference between controlled and automatic processing, the role of self-regulation, and how sleep debt, stress and individual cognitive rhythms factor into a student's ability to concentrate. She also points to a growing trend in education: designing classroom content to accommodate short attention spans, which may be unintentionally reinforcing them.The conversation also takes a timely turn into how AI tools—from TikTok's recommender systems to ChatGPT—are changing the way students interact with information, and what that means for deep learning, retention, and even courage in the classroom.Listen to learn:Why shrinking attention spans aren't your fault—and what's really driving themHow schools may be unintentionally reinforcing short-form thinkingWhat AI and automation are doing to deep learning and reflectionThe hidden role of sleep, stress, and self-regulation in attention3 powerful strategies students can use to take back control of their focus3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Short attention spans are not a personal failure—they're shaped by both individual traits and digital environments.Gloria distinguishes between controlled and automatic attention, noting that much of our behavior—like checking phones or clicking notifications—happens without conscious thought. These automatic habits are reinforced by our environment, particularly digital technologies that train us to switch rapidly and respond to constant stimuli.2. Classroom strategies that cater to short attention spans may be doing more harm than good.Gloria highlights a trend in education toward breaking lectures into smaller chunks or assigning only short passages instead of full books. While well-intentioned, these adaptations risk further weakening students' ability to engage in long-form content and develop deep, reflective thinking.3. AI tools like TikTok and ChatGPT are reshaping how students consume and process information—often at the cost of deeper learning.Platforms driven by recommender algorithms use random reinforcement to keep users engaged, conditioning them for rapid content consumption. In the classroom, reliance on generative AI can create a disconnect between students and the material, undermining “depth of processing” and reducing the cognitive benefits of making mistakes.Resources in this Episode:Official website of Dr. Gloria MarkSee official show notes page for more resources!Connect with Dr. Gloria MarkFacebook  |  We want to hear from you!

    Edward Dowd: U.S. Is Heading for a Deep Recession Driven by Housing

    Tom Bodrovics welcomes Edward Dowd, founder of Phinance Technologies, to the show to discuss the unfolding economic landscape and the probable looming recession. Dowd explains that initial recession predictions for late 2023 and early 2024 were incorrect due to an unprecedented economic variable: mass illegal immigration. He estimates that between 20 million people were brought into the U.S. over three-and-a-half years, supported by deficit spending ranging from $500 billion to $2 trillion. This influx of labor and spending temporarily propped up the economy, masking underlying weaknesses, particularly in the housing market. However, with the Trump administration now halting immigration flows and initiating deportations, Dowd expects a significant economic impact. Housing, which constitutes 20% of the consumption economy and 45% of the CPI, is already rolling over, with new home sales plummeting and delinquencies rising. Dowd predicts this will lead to a housing-driven recession, similar to the 2008 crisis but less systemic, barring an oil price shock. Inflation, which Dowd believes is overstated due to faulty shelter cost metrics, is expected to fall below 2% by year-end. This deflationary trend will likely prompt the Fed to cut rates, but Dowd warns that rate cuts during an economic downturn are bearish for stocks, as seen in 2000 and 2008. He advises investors to focus on U.S. Treasury bonds and gold, which is being re-monetized as a tier-one capital asset. Dowd also highlights the potential for fiscal dominance to worsen, with governments globally struggling under unsustainable debt burdens. He points to Europe and Japan as particularly vulnerable due to demographic declines and debt crises, which could lead to currency collapses or conflicts. In the U.S., he emphasizes the need for fiscal discipline and warns that the current debt trajectory, exacerbated by the Biden administration's spending, will require painful adjustments. Despite the challenges, Dowd sees opportunities for younger generations should a reset come for the housing markets and for investors during the eventual market correction.

    Being easily distracted by the latest technologies has been a consistent feature of the human race since the time of Plato. But is the technology to blame? Or is the key to being more productive and present in life have to do with forming healthy habits around the technology?Nir Eyal, writer, consultant, and former lecturer in marketing at Stanford, is the author of Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life and Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products. In his work, Nir explores the psychology behind habit-forming technology.Nir and Greg discuss the positive applications of habit-forming technologies, the timeless nature of distraction, the importance of forethought in combating impulsiveness, and practical strategies for becoming “Indistractable.” *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The antidote to impulsiveness is forethought15:32: Studies have found that 90% of your distractions are not external triggers. They do not come from the outside world. Ninety percent of the time you check your phone, you check your phone not because of a ping, ding, or ring, but because of an internal trigger. Because 90% of distractions begin from within. They start because of these internal triggers. What are internal triggers? Internal triggers are uncomfortable emotional states—boredom, loneliness, fatigue, uncertainty, anxiety. This is the source of 90% of our distractions. So what that means is, when you let those impulses take over, right? The antidote to impulsiveness is forethought. When you allow yourself to check social media or watch something on the news or whatever it is that is not what you want to do, because of an immediate sensation, that tends to be, 90% of the time, the source of the problem. That is when it becomes something of, “Oh my gosh, what was I doing? I wasted the whole day worrying about somebody else's problems online,” as opposed to what I really need to do. Whereas if you plan that time in advance, it is fine. There is nothing wrong with it.How do you become indistractable?50:42: The first step to becoming indistractable is mastering internal triggers, or they will master you. So you can have the best tools, the best life hacks, the best—all that stuff. But if fundamentally you do not know how to deal with that sensation, you do not know how to process boredom, loneliness, fatigue, uncertainty, anxiety—if you do not know what to do with that sensation—you are always going to find a way to escape.Humans adapt and adopt with every new technology07:29: The solution is not to abandon the technology. The solution is to make it better, to do what we as Homo sapiens have always done. We have always done two things in the face of dramatic technological innovation. What we have done is to adapt and to adopt, right? We adapt our behaviors. We adapt to new social norms. We adapt to the downsides of these behaviors by changing our manners, and then we adopt new technologies to fix the last generation of technologies.Show Links:Recommended Resources:AkrasiaPaul VirilioPeter GrayAmy Edmondson | unSILOedRobert D.
