Tephillin

In the Hebrew tongue means "attachments."

They were originally prayer thongs worn by the Jews at morning prayer-one on the left arm and another on the head. They came to be regarded as talismans and were used in many traditional ceremonies. The Talmud says: Whoever has the tephillin bound to his head and arm 66 is protected from sin."
