Social media star revealed: This is how I don't forget to put on tefillin | Watch

Singer and social media star Yagel Oshri shared yesterday (Wednesday) a decision he made following the October 7th massacre: "I didn't put on tefillin every morning. After that day, I decided I wanted to strengthen myself, and I took it upon myself to put on tefillin." According to him, although he accepted the commandment, he found it difficult to maintain it consistently due to many distractions.

"What happens in practice is that I wake up in the morning, straight to Instagram, TikTok, phone calls, and work. I go out to meetings, and suddenly it's already six or seven in the evening and I haven't managed to," he said. Consequently, he decided to find a creative solution: "I made myself an app called 'Tefillin First, World Later.' It locks all the apps at a time you choose, and when you try to enter them, the message appears: 'Did you put on tefillin today, righteous one?'"

In a video he published on his TikTok account "for the merit of the many," he demonstrated how the app works and explained: "This is how I don't forget to put on tefillin." The video quickly garnered hundreds of thousands of views, and the reactions were not long in coming: "How powerful! I'm installing it now," "Well done, you don't understand how much putting on tefillin is for the soul," "Thanks to you, I just went to pray Shacharit."
