Introduction

The Torah says you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. The arm to fill in is inclined toward the heart, then representing both intention and action. Hasidic commentator Svatam explains that the four scrolls in the head to fill in are like Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. But those four books are all repeated and collected in one book, Deuteronomy.
