Who would have believed: Prof. Amir Hetzroni put on tefillin • How did it happen? Watch

June 20, 2017   

Amir Hetzroni, the controversial professor, arrived today (Tuesday) to visit Kfar Chabad, as part of what he called "my visits to Jewish communities that were established thanks to Zionist war crimes at the expense of the Palestinian people." But what happened there was nothing short of a revolution: Hetzroni, known for mocking everything holy, visited Building 770, the model built exactly like the Chabad World Center-770 in the Crown Heights neighborhood - and placed tefillin in the "Rebbe's room." Journalist Mandy Grozman wrote in a post he published alongside a photo of Hetzroni: Well, I always knew that Chabadniks were capable of anything, but that they would succeed against Amir Hetzroni? Who would have believed it. The professor happened to be in Kfar Chabad for a meeting on a business matter (you'd be surprised, this stoned guy holds his head when he wants to). The person he met with, a resident of the village, wrote to me before the meeting: "You'll see that he'll place tefillin at my place." "Keep dreaming," I replied. An hour and a half later he sent the picture. The man who managed to win the mitzvahHaredim 10: ""Really? It really wasn't difficult. He asked to see 770. I told him: To enter this house, you have to put on tefillin... and the rest is history.". Watch.
