Benny Gantz, the Israeli opposition leader, apparently was in such a hurry to return to Israel this week that he forgot his tefillin.
He borrowed a pair from the owner of a seforim store in Boro Park who happened to be with him on his flight from JFK airport.
Gantz, the chairman of the Blue and White party, was had been in Washington Monday for a meeting with President Trump ahead of the White House’s unveiling of the long-awaited peace proposal. While in Zurich for a stop, he met the owner of Zundel Berman Books.
Yochonon Berman, who also has stores in Lakewood, Flatbush and four other locations, told boropark24.com that he was in the Swiss airport’s business lounge when he spotted Gantz.
