No, the wrapping around the hands is called 'tefillin'.

Tefillin (תפילין in Hebrew) are called phylacteries in English. They are two small leather boxes, each containing four passages from the Hebrew Scriptures on parchment; traditionally worn (on the forehead and the left arm) by Jewish men during weekday morning prayer, as commanded by the Torah (Deuteronomy 6).

The tefilin symbolize that God is always watching.
