You walk into the bathroom at work and accidentally enter an occupied stall. Your non-Jewish coworker is standing there wearing tefillin. He explains that he bought the tefillin on E-Bay and that he has been putting them on daily. He has no interest in converting; he just finds the practice to be “spiritual.” He explains that he does this in the bathroom so he can have privacy.

When you mention that tefillin are not supposed to be brought in the bathroom and perhaps you/he can find an alternate, private location, he gets angry and tells you, “You mind your business, I’ll mind mine.”

What would you do?

Maybe they're the ones with photocopies of the klaf inside.

Is he a follower of Madonna's brand of Kabbalah?

I'm assuming the lack of responses is due to the fact that this is such a hard question and nobody knows how they would handle it.

That's one possible explanation.

grab his tefillin, and say this is for Jews only, and they dont belong in the bathroom you crazy kofer! then throw him off a cliff (or a desk) and throw a rock at him (or a fotcopy paper or something)

WAY to go, man...
Did you ever try this, you crazy Jew?



At least we know now why your postings are somewhat... erratic- must've been the ensuing walloping you got.

You may have to translate and explain the term kofer to your bathroom-tefillin-wearer.

nah, most americans have heard the arabic version Kaffir often enough, its similar sounding enough (altho definition a lil diff technically)
