When it comes to prayer, Ill take Jesus direction from the Sermon on the Mount....
You mean Jesus, that "Jew"? Since we know that He and His disciples practiced prayer in precisely the manner of pious Judaism of the day, it shouldn't shock us that He would have worn teffilin at least once a day... and there is a case that could be made that His brother "James" wore them all the time as was the manner of Jerusalem piety.

You're here to teach us about Judaism.
Like I told a Jewish man who worked at the Catholic Family Services in New Haven when he tried a similar argument: When Jesus performed the first Mass (Consecration of the bread and wine) he forsook all his past rites. Once he did that all the Jewish rites that he once may have observed no longer applied. That is why we Catholics have our own Mass and the other rites of the Catholic Church.
Your coming here and trying to tell us that we are somehow inferior because we don't know what the little box on someone's head is pure arrogance.
