The Admor of Sanz convened an urgent meeting last Friday night, before his grandson's bar mitzvah celebration, with the participation of the rabbis and dayani of Sanz, to raise awareness and warn about the obligation to observe the kashrut of tefillin.

The assembly convened after several concerns were discovered about the kosherness of tefillin houses that had arisen over the past 25 years - approximately since 2009. This was after they began using a harder and thicker type of leather, which, even after being put through a press, leaves voids or cracks in it that are filled with glue.
Due to a lack of attention and ignorance on the part of the manufacturers, a situation has arisen where the cracks filled with glue constitute a defect in the tefillin square, raising serious questions about the kosherness of the tefillin.
In addition, more concerns and questions were discovered regarding the kosherness of the tefillin square, due to several different reasons - such as: using an electric disc saw to emphasize the space between the four houses in the tefillin of the head, improper opening of the tefillin by the tefillin inspectors, drilling with a drill to create holes for passing the thread between the houses, and more.
In Sanz, it is recalled that a few years ago, the Rebbe of Sanz, the late Chaim, led the campaign to build a fence and stand firm against serious obstacles that were then discovered regarding the kashrut of tefillin.
Now, when it became known after an investigation and demand that there were questions and concerns about the kashrut of the tefillin houses, the Rebbe convened the rabbis of Sanz and demanded the establishment of a special supervision of the rabbis of Sanz - which would closely monitor the kashrut of the tefillin for the Hasidim of Sanz, who wish to observe the mitzvah of tefillin according to what is stated in the poskim and according to the instructions and rulings of the Rebbe, the prolific Chaim of Sanz.
