A striking Jewish moment was captured in Hawaii, where a traveler was seen wearing tallis and tefillin against the dramatic backdrop of the islands' mountainous landscape.

The scene, shared by Amir Davidson with the words “Wrapping tefillin in Hawaii” and “Am Yisrael Chai,” shows the familiar mitzvah being performed thousands of miles from the major centers of Jewish life.

Hawaii is home to several Jewish communities and Chabad centers, which serve both local residents and the many Jewish travelers visiting the islands.

From the heart of Jewish communities to a mountaintop in Hawaii, the setting may change — but the mitzvah remains the same.
