∙ 12y agoThere is confusion as to the meaning of this question and this results in two different answers:
1) Where on the body is Tefillin placed? -- There are two boxes that are each attached to leather straps. The first box is places on the left-right center forehead at the hairline and the leather straps tie at the back of the head. The second box is placed on the recessive arm just above the elbow (biceps) facing inwards towards the stomach. (The "recessive arm" means the left arm for right-handed individuals and right arm for left-handed individuals.) The leather strap is bound around the lower arm seven times before the remaining leather is wrapped around the fingers in the form of the Hebrew Word (שדי) "Shaddai" meaning "Almighty".
2) In what location is Tefillin worn? -- Tefillin is worn while praying. This can be at a person's own house, but is preferably worn in a synagogue or other communal setting where Jews can pray together.
Important notes: The Head and Hand Tefillin are not interchangeable as the boxes themselves are divided differently and the leather straps are differently proportioned. In Orthodox Judaism, only men can use Tefillin while in Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist Judaism a woman can use Tefillin. Tefillin is only worn for the Morning Service (unless the Morning Service is skipped in which case it can be worn for an Afternoon Service) and only worn on non-Holidays and non-Shabbat times.

It is worn as sign of respect for God. At morning services in the synagogue men wear a prayer robe called a tallit which is usually made of silk or wool because this is a special type of clothing. At the bottom of the tallit is a fringe with some tassels at the end. In the orthodox synagogues men wear different types of clothes compared to what men wear in liberal synagogues. Men wear two small black leather boxes with straps as well as the tallit and kippah. These small black leather boxes that men wear are called tefilin. These boxes contain small pieces of parchment.
