The gemora states (Brachot 6a) Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak asks Rav Chiya bar Avin: What is written in G-d’s Tefillin? Rav Chiya bar Avin replied: “Who is like Your people, Israel, one nation in the land?” (I Chronicles 17:21)
The collection of antique tefilin covers placed within the large "tefilin" symbolically represents the connection between the Jewish people's performance of the Mitzvahs and the effect upon Creation
