Writing Tefillin
I am writing some tefillin in honor of Chanukah. I really like writing and if it wasn’t for all the time I spend in kiruv, I would probably write all day. In the middle of the night I had noticed I made a raish a drop small so the halacha teaches to show it to a child. I waited for him to wake up and then I asked him which letter he thought it was. When he said it was a raish and didn’t call it a vav, I started hugging him and squeezing him. I wonder what I would have done if he called it a mistaken Vav and I had to erase.
Children with their simple pureness are asked this question purposely because they won’t contemplate the answer but will just come out with what they think. I want to write a divar torah on this but my eyes are closing. Asa… can you finish?
It depends… did you adjust the picture frame?

Considering that children are the first mitzvah of the entire torah, a mitzvah for all mankind, the fact that they are born pure and all are born on the same level…
Moshe, you take over.
