# The strap of the [[Tefillin]] shel rosh should contain a knot in the shape of the hebrew letter dalet, and the strap of the [[Tefillin]] shel yad should contain a knot in the shape of the letter yod.

# Different customs about how to tie the ''Dalet'' exist. Some do an upside down L, while others do a square.<ref>See Avnei Nezer (Orach Chaim 183), Shu"t Tzofnat Paneach Siman 93, Nefesh HaRav pp.105-106, and Tzitz Eliezer 9:9. Magen Avot (Orach Chaim 32:52) says Moroccans don't do a square, but some say it comes from the Arizal.</ref> | |||
