A movement born in the back of a stadium parking lot.
It started with a single pair of tefillin, a folding table, and a Friday-night concert outside Madison Square Garden. By the end of the show, twenty-three Jews had wrapped — some for the first time since their bar mitzvah, some for the first time ever.
That night, Rock Tefilin was born. We are a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit on a mission to bring the mitzvah of tefillin to the places where Jewish life isn't usually invited — concerts, festivals, raves, stadium tours and street corners on a Tuesday night.
"Wherever the music is loud, a quiet moment of Torah is possible."
Religious, secular, curious or unsure — every Jewish soul is welcome at our table.
Tefillin, tutorials, and a five-minute meaningful pause are always free of charge.
If there's a major concert near you, chances are we're already on the way.
