This was taken at the Brooklyn (Crown Heights) headquarters of the Lubavitcher Chasidim, known popularly as Chabad.  Practitioners of this "brand" of Judaism believe that every instance of performing a deed commanded by the Torah will bring the Messiah one step closer to returning.  In this instance, a Lubavitcher is helping a young man (considered an adult by virtue of being 13 or older) to wrap Tefillin. 

"So you shall put these, my words, on your heart and on your soul;
and you shall bind them for signs on your hands, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes."  (Deuteronomy 11:13-21)
