He chuckled when Feller told him he had difficulty in deciding whether he should give him a right-handed or left-handed Tefilin. Jewish law states that hand Tefilin must be donned on the weaker arm. The Rabbi told Koufax, "Since you bat right and throw left, I couldn't figure out what type to get you. But considering what your left arm has accomplished I de- cided that your right arm was weaker, and so we got you the type that you put on your right hand." After examining his gift for a short while it appeared to the Rabbi that Sandy was very familiar with Tefi- lin. I asked Rabbi Feller why he presented Tefilin to Koufax and he said, "Could you think of a better way to honor a person for enhanc- ing Jewish values than by present- ing him with a Mitzvah article, one which the Talmud says is repre- sentative of all the Mitzvos?" That answer was good enough for me. After their approximately 10- minute meeting during which Kou- far impressed the Rabbi with his humility and courtesy they parted with the Rabbi wishing Sandy "Brocha and Hatzloho" which means blessing and success. Kou- fax must have passed this blessing around. .
