How to best care for tefillin
« on: June 19, 2023, 01:59:58 PM »
OT: For those who travel, do  you always bring it indoors with you?
being that I'm not a practicing Lubavitcher, i don't always bring it inside with me because i once left it at a client's facility. On the other hand now I'm concerned about heat damage

Split this into a new thread for care of tefillin, which should become very useful.

Keep it in an insulated tote bag.

Does insulating something help if you’re not starting with something cold? I suppose you could put an ice pack, but that sounds equally concerning.

It will keep the outside heat out

Direct sunlight is certainly bad and heat should be avoided as much as possible.
Also anything they may give it condensation obviously shouldn't be done.

Bring it inside.
Put an airtag/tile in it so you don't lose it/forget it.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Industrial facilities might not be the best place to locate AirTag/tile.
