Can a Person Wear Tefillin and Still Remain Disconnected From Torah?

This source-based Torah study examines the question: Can an outward mitzvah be performed correctly while the person remains inwardly distant from the Torah’s direction and values? Tefillin becomes a lens for examining the relationship between ritual action, consciousness, identity and an ongoing connection to Torah. It traces the issue through the parasha and the classical discussion without turning the material into an individualized ruling. The canonical review status is preserved for any practical, halakhic, ethical or theological claims.
