the only issue I have with it, is taking Holy things and making them common….not about who, it IS about putting HOLY things on dolls and other toys, making them common – that IS sacrilegious!

One should consider the result regarding familiarization with tfillin and observance. An imagined example (because I don’t know) if a doll is something a girl pretends and projects what she wants to be or be like in a positive way,, a mother or film star, a doll laying tfillin can be positive in that a childhood image becomes reality in adulthood. ‘When I grow up I will wear tfillin’ sounds good.

I do not like or trust these women. Keep them away from our Holy Wall. PS I am secular not orthodox in any way.
