The rabbis most famous for this dispute were Rashi and his grandson Rabbeinu Tam and the two versions used today are named after them. The Halacha follows the arrangement of the Rashi Tefillin. | ||
# However, pious individuals have the practice of wearing both Tefillin of Rashi and Rabbenu Tam. <ref> S"A 34:2 rules that that the especially pious should wear both sets, but added that only one commonly known to be especially pious may do so, so as not to appear as arrogant in one's piety. </ref> | |||
# Some wear the Rashi tefillin alone, and then remove them and briefly wear Rabbeinu Tam tefillin. Others wear both sets of tefillin simultaneously, with the Rabbeinu Tam tefillin higher up than the Rashi tefillin. | |||
