re hefsek tefillin

Asked by PF · January 19, 2004 · Prayer

Question

Dear R' Abadi, With regard to CYA's response to HN Lasry in reference to making a bracha every time one removes his tefillin, does this apply to ashkenazim as well? If so, how is this reconciled with REM"A in OC"H 25:12 and Mishne Berurah #47? As always thanks for your wonderful website.

Answered by Chaim Yisrael Abadi

I had the same question but I noticed the Biur Halacha mentioned that "you don't lose by making a Bracha". I am not ready to ask my father why until I really look over the whole issue from the Gemara through the Rishonim, Tur, Bais Yosef, Shulchan Aruch etc...... Either way, that is what my father said. You make a Bracha every time you take off your Teffilin (both at same time). CYA
