# Right handed people wear the [[tefillin]] on their left arm and left handed people place it on their right arm. Whether you are right handed or left handed is determined by which hand you write with. Someone who is completely ambidextrous should place it on the left arm. <ref> S"A 27:1, 27:6 based on gemara Menachot 37a. Halacha Berura 27:21 writes that someone who writes with one hand and performs all other activities with another is praiseworthy if he places on the other hand in addition without a beracha. This is also the ruling of Rabbi Eli Mansour http://www.dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=1101 </ref> One who in the past performed all activities with his right hand but for whatever reason has lost use of it and now his left becomes stronger should place it on the right arm. <ref> Mishna Brurah 27:22 </ref> | # Right handed people wear the [[tefillin]] on their left arm and left handed people place it on their right arm.

However, the Beiur Halacha 22:1 and Kaf Hachayim 22:2 both suggest to put on a new garment and say the [[shehecheyanu]] on that immediately before putting on [[tefillin]] for the first time, while having in mind for the [[tefillin]], as well, to cover the safek. </ref> | # The beracha of [[shehecheyanu]] is not recited the first time someone puts on [[tefillin]]. <ref> Chida in Machazik Beracha 22, Kaf Hachaim Palachi 10:8 based on Tosafot Menachot 75, against the tosefta [[Berachot]] 6:10 which says that when one makes [[tzitzit]] or [[tefillin]], to make a [[shehecheyanu]] which is brought down by the Rambam Hilchot [[Berachot]] 11:9.
