Hefsek Tefilin

Question

Good Morning Aaroni I just tried to call your Father because in the middle of putting on my Shel Yad I had to go to the toilet, afterwards I did not know if I had to repeat the Bracha on the Shel Yad the only Bracha we Sfardim make on Tefilin. Normally when I remove my Tefilin for any reason with the intention of putting back on fairly immediately I do not make another Bracha, but I heard The Rabbi has a Psak on this matter. Please advise, for now since The Rabbi was not available I will go Sofek Brachot L'hakel that is what ignorance dictates, I think. Best Regards and Keep Up The Good Work

Your ignorance dictated correctly. Since you were not sure, you don't make the blessing. But in reality, you would have needed another blessing. AA
