# | # Given the debate between the [[Rambam]] and [[Rosh]] regarding how to write a Petuchah and a Setumah, Ashkenazi Tefillin are written in a way that attempts to form a compromise between the two. Unfortunately, this compromise is absolutely unacceptable for Sephardim, as it is against [[Shulchan Aruch]]. Therefore, Sephardim will not have fulfilled their obligation of [[Tefillin]] if they are written according to minhag Ashkenaz. If one has no choice, he should wear them without a Beracha, and a halachic authority should be contacted. This is not an issue with Chabad Tefillin.<ref>See Yechave Daat 2:3 and 5:3 where Chacham Ovadia explains that according to all opinions the script itself is not a problem; rather, the issue is that Ashkenazi sofrim follow the Taz's peshara to be yotzeh both the Rambam and Rosh's opinions of a Parsha Stumah. Since the Shulchan Aruch explicitly rejects this peshara in Hilchot Sefer Torah, it is invalid for Sephardim, thereby rendering the [[Tefillin]] Pesulim according to the Sephardi custom. This also the ruling of Rav Ben Tzion Abba Shaul (Or LeTzion 2:3:7). Yabia Omer (vol. 9 OC 108:24), Halacha Brurah 32:148</ref> | ||
