At the age of bar or bat mitzvah, the lives of Jewish boys and girls change because they must observe the mitzvah and they tend to take more responsibility for their actions. The tallit and tefillin mark the transition from childhood to religious maturity, and they remind us to observe the mitzvot. I have been interested in the method of using a snail to produce blue dye for a long time. My question is there a difference between Canada and Israel in the tradition of putting on the tefillin?
