Tefis might refer to
Tefillin (Askhenazic: ; Israeli Hebrew: [tfiˈlin], תפילין), also called phylacteries (), are a set of small black leather boxes containing scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah. In Rabbinic Judaism, which is the predominant form of Judaism today, tefillin are worn by observant adult Jews during weekday morning prayers. In all traditionally orthodox communities they are only worn by men. * Although "tefillin" is technically the plural form (the singular being "tefillah"), it is loosely used as a singular as well. The arm-tefillah, or shel yad, is placed on the upper arm, and the strap wrapped around the arm/hand, hand and fingers; while the head-tefillah or shel rosh, is placed above the forehead. The Torah commands that they should be worn to serve as a "sign" and "remembrance" that God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt. * The biblical scriptures often referenced as referring to tefillin are by their very nature obscure in any literal meaning. Indeed, there is no biblical text which literally names, describes, or mandates tefillin. * It is within the Talmud, the authoritative oral tradition of Rabbinic Judaism, where tefillin are named and explained as to what it is that are to be bound to the body and the form that they should take. Deuteronomy 11:18, for instance, is one of the standard texts referenced as supporting the obligation, but it does not designate what specifically to "bind upon your arm", and the definition of totafot between your eyes is not obvious. Karaite Judaism, by contrast, treats the biblical text as metaphorical.
