Ultra Orthodox Jews are encouraged to wrap the Tefillin, leather straps with small boxes containing a small scroll of the Torah, on their arm and head at the Western Wall, or Wailing Wall, in the Old City of Jerusalem. Wearing the Tefillin is a Jewish tradition in accordance with the Old Testament passages of Exodus 13:9, Exodus 13:16, Deuteronomy 6:8 and Deuteronomy 11:18.
