Tefillin Tikkun HaKlali

Ari Wharton

 

 

Tefillin Tikkun HaKlali; Tefillin for Repair of All, black jeans, thread, paper, ink, February 14, 2020, 19th of Sh’vat 5780.

This set of tefillin is made to be shared by members of Kohenet, a group of genderqueer people and women who study and pray together. The artist compares the act of making these tefillin to an act of praying. Placed inside the tefillin is Tikkun HaKlali, a collection of ten handwritten chapters from Tehillim.
