I Disagree with this One
Everything is foreseen, yet free will is granted…the mystical side of Judaism and life
by Reb Gutman Locks
This is a big mistake. There is a new religious accessory on the market that has gained almost complete acceptance within the frum (religious) community. You see them every day. I have never heard anyone say anything against them.
How do you carry something that is dear to you? By your heart. The gemora makes a distinction between something that you are carrying in front of you, i.e. by your chest which shows that you are guarding it more, and something that you are carrying behind you, i.e. on your back which shows that you are not guarding it as much. How much less do you guard something that you carry on your lower back side!
The bags are see-through plastic on one side so everyone sees that it is your tefillin bouncing against your lower seat. This is not the way to treat something that you love, especially if it is something holy.
If the bags were closed and you were not showing everyone that it is your tefillin that you are treating that way then the bag would be just a closed suitcase and it wouldn’t matter. Or you could adjust the carrying strap by at least 50% so the tefillin would ride either on your chest by your heart (as they should) or on your upper back which is not as offensive. But seeing religious men walking to and from the Kotel with their tefillin riding on their bottoms seems to be saying, “I do not think that my tefillin are holy or I would not be carrying them this way.”
Maybe it’s just me and I am being machmir (strict) because, as I said, it doesn’t seem to bother anyone else.

” Maybe it’s just me… ”
Agreed. Nothing about making up as you go (Rabbinic) has any importance. On a par with believing Harry Potter is sacred.
