Giants Tefilin Superbowl win tremendous Kiddush HaShem
As previously reported in an exclusive Chaptzem story, Rabbi Yisroel Shemtov had been putting on Tefilin with the Jewish big shots of the underdog New York Giants football team and they had been consistently winning. And now, against all odds and as promised by Rabbi Shemtov, sports bookies' from all over the country have had their worst nightmares come true. The Giants, in an unbelievable game, have won the Superbowl against the until now undefeated New England Patriots and all because of the Mitzvah of Tefilin. Chalk up a big touchdown for Yiddishkeit.
Comments:
That's not why the Giants beat the Patriots. Just after shachris, mincha and maariv I stuck pins into the elbows and knees of the voodoo doll I crafted of Tom Brady. I did this every day for the last 5 weeks.
I'm happy to say that my efforts were rewarded.

It's funny how some people are ready to make fun of tefilin even comparing them to V. dools c"v just because Chabad is involved. I think that this says a lot about the love and respect those pople have for Hashem's mitzvos. Makes me wonder why they put on tefilin in the morning!

I am very touched by this story and I resolve to bl"n check my Teffilin and to be extra careful not to talk in them.

As a giants fan let me say that this win by all stats was not naturaly possible. (without devine intervention anyways) so who knows? Better start taking all these Chabad guys serious or they might be having the last laugh?

The fact that the Giants won doesnt necessarily mean it was because of this Guy putting teffilin on some "big shot" on the Giants. It is possible that it had a part in the z'chus of them winning, however its not 100% clear. I davened with alot of kavanah for the Giants to win. Does it means thats why they won? ABSOLUTELY NOT! but...you never know..teffilos can go a very long way...GO GIANTS!!

To Shmoiger
Why do you write that the Giants did ABSOLUTLY NOT (your emphasis)win because of your prayer? Do you not believe in the power of tefilah?
This little piece about the giants seems to bring out major hashkofo issues. Frume yidden who don't believe that tefilin and / or tefilah have any power what so ever. It is frightening. This should be a wake up call to many to start serious work on our yiras shomayim and emunah. Time to go to some more shiurim in mussar and chassidus in particular.

Puzzled, You failed to realize that I also wrote "Tefillos can go a very long way, You never know". When I wrote ABSOLUTELY NOT! I meant that the reason why they won abosloutely didnt necessarily happen because of my teffilos although it could have...still puzzled?
