Orange tefillin stands: Chabad’s powerful tribute to the Bibas family

Thousands across the country are putting on tefillin today (Wednesday) in memory of the Bibas family, using special stalls set up by Chabad youth.

Rabbi Nati Wagner and Rabbi Sharon Goshen of the Chabad House in the Rambam neighborhood of Rishon Lezion set up tefillin stands this morning at the funeral, which departed from the center of Rishon Lezion towards the cemetery in the Gaza envelope.

At the tefillin stands, masses of Israelis put on tefillin in memory of Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, who will be laid to rest in the Gaza envelope.

Another prominent focal point was set up this morning at the Sderot intersection, where many also flocked to put on tefillin, in memory of the family.
