Tefillin is placed on our head and on our hand, opposite our heart. Starting our day with spiritual mindfulness, channeling the energy of the Divine into everything we will think, speak and do that day.

Watch Rabbi Chaim's class on Tefillin here.
This Shabbos is called Shabbat Chazon ("Shabbat of Vision") named after the opening words of the day's Haftorah reading. On this Shabbat, say the Chassidic masters, we are granted a vision of the Third Temple; we may not see it with our physical eyes, but our souls see it, and are empowered to break free of our present state of galut and bring about the Redemption and the rebuilding of the Temple. May it be speedily! Links: The Holy Temple: an Anthology, Shabbat of Vision About the " Three of Rebuke".
Tisha B'av is observed this Wednesday night and Thursday. The final meal before the start of the fast, eaten shortly before sunset, is called seudah hamafseket. Only one cooked food is eaten at this meal, customarily an egg dipped in ashes. During this fast, that begins in Houston at 8:16 pm on Wednesday, we abstain from eating and drinking, bathing, the wearing of leather footwear, and marital relations. It is customary to sit on the floor or a low seat until after mid-day on Thursday. Torah study is restricted to laws of mourning, passages describing the destruction of the Temple, and the like. The tefillin are worn only during the afternoon Minchah prayers. For the complete Tisha B'av schedule, see below. Link: Laws of Tish'ah B'Av
Classes: In observance of Tisha B'av the weekly Wednesday night and Thursday classes are suspended.
