I see a familiar leather strap - but no tefillin.  What she does is of 
no interest to me, and if it involves half inch wide leather straps I
guess we have no monopoly on those.

Were they true tefillin, it would be another matter - not because she's a
woman - my wife davens with tefillin - but for the disrespect.

So the popular media has made a stupid offensive video.  Yawn.  Ain't news.

OK.  Went a read the article that went with it.  She's enriching those jerks
at the Kabbalah Center.  Ptui ptui ptui.  
 
So I am offended.  Not because she's a woman - because she's not a Jew and
she's not using them in a respectful way.  

Another false messiah.
