Policeman Whose Tefillin was burned by Bnei-Torah Presented with New Tefillin


 Following a violent protest in Bnei Brak where a police motorcycle was torched, Police Commissioner Danny Levy and Tel Aviv District Commander Chaim Sargrof ordered the immediate replacement of the officer's destroyed Tefillin, Siddur, and personal gear.

The fire, set by a small group of protesters two days ago, consumed the officer’s motorcycle along with his Tefillin, Siddur, and personal cell phone.

In a ceremony today, Dan District Commander Elad Klein presented the officer with a new pair of Tefillin and a replacement phone.

Additionally, the Commissioner directed that a replacement vehicle be issued to the officer to replace the destroyed motorcycle.

Israel Police emphasized that they view the arson with extreme severity and are continuing investigations to bring the perpetrators to justice.
