Most leaders put on tefillin in the morning, then step into their day unchanged. But tefillin is not a ritual to leave behind. It is a technology of alignment. A compass for your leadership.
When worn with awareness, tefillin aligns your higher purpose (Keter) with real-world impact (Malchut). It binds your higher mind (Mochin) and heart, showing you the full map of the ten sefirot—the higher abilities of being human.
In the boardroom this changes everything. When debate turns into arguing, when analysis hides fear, when the ego slips into re-active mode (Yesod)—you can see through the veil. You can keep yourself and others out of reactivity. You create safety, invite truth, open collective wisdom. Meetings move from power struggles to faster, clearer strategic outcomes. This is the secret rhythm of ratzo v’shuv: moving between expansion and return.
Ask yourself:
- What does Tikkun Olam mean in my company’s mission?
- Where in the Four Worlds do I need more power—strategy, emotion, spirit, or action?
- Am I leading from ego (Yesod) or from the Self (Tiferet)?
Tefillin is not leather and words—it is power channeled into purpose. When you carry its alignment into your meetings and decisions, you stop leading from ego and start leading from essence. It’s perhaps a bit too much, to take everyday a resolution yet the change happened, when we live with intention, kavanah, thats the way of integration of living. Reflection isn’t enough. One resolution, one commitment everyday and you”ll start living tefilin. And feeling its power and vitality flowing through your veins.
