Jordanian ban in tefillin still in place
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 20 October 2011

Makor Rishon correspondents Avinadav Vitkin and Asaf Gabor reported in the
19 January edition that Jordan continues to ban the entry of tefillin
(phylacteries) into Jordan by Israeli tourists.

A veteran tour guide recommended that religious tourists enter Jordan via
the Eilat-Aqaba border as the ban is not strictly enforced there.

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry told the reporters that they are in contact
with Jordanian authorities trying to lift the ban but that there are a
number of elements in the Jordanian establishment who are preventing it.
