Hi Rabbi Goldberger, Attached, I have included in this email the original Document with the changes implemented.... Plus, I took the liberty of adding Four different background pictures of Tefillin. You can choose to go with either of the four, or just simply go with the one without any background, if you think that adding the pictures makes it too noisy and takes away from the content...
