# First one puts on the [[Tefillin]] of the arm ("Shel Yad") before putting on the [[Tefillin]] of the head ("Shel Rosh"). <ref>Rashi Yoma 33b "Avurei" learns this from the concept of ein maavirin al hamitzvot. Tosfot there "avurei" questions this because the gemara Menachot 36a derives this from the pasuk (Devarim 6:8, see above) of [[Tefillin]], which mentions arm before head. Therefore Tosfot interpret the gemara in Yoma as referring to the placement of the [[Tefillin]] in the bag. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Rephael Baruch Toledano, siman 10, laws of the donning of [[tefillin]], seif 18. Ben Ish Chai Vayera Halacha 6 says that this order has great kabbalistic significance as well. Chazon Ovadia Chelek 2 page 209 says that the order relates to the idea of naase vinishma (Shemot 24:7, that the Jews accepted to observe the commandments and only afterwards understand them) because the [[Tefillin]] shel yad represent our actions and the shel rosh represent our understanding </ref> Therefore one should be careful to arrange the [[Tefillin]] in the case so that one takes the [[Tefillin]] shel yad first. Furthermore, it is proper to keep the [[Tefillin]] shel rosh in one's bag or at least still wrapped until one is finished donning the [[Tefillin]] shel yad. <ref> Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Rephael Baruch Toledano, siman 10, laws of the donning of [[tefillin]], seif 20 </ref> | # First one puts on the [[Tefillin]] of the arm ("Shel Yad") before putting on the [[Tefillin]] of the head ("Shel Rosh"). <ref>Rashi Yoma 33b "Avurei" learns this from the concept of ein maavirin al hamitzvot.

# According to some poskim one may kiss one's [[Tefillin]] shel rosh when one takes them out of one's bag even though one should try not to interrupt between the [[Tefillin]] shel yad and shel, rosh since kissing it is giving it honor, it is permitted. <ref>Sh"t Rivivot Ephraim 1:27:1 </ref> | # According to some poskim one may kiss one's [[Tefillin]] shel rosh when one takes them out of one's bag even though one should try not to interrupt between the [[Tefillin]] shel yad and shel, rosh since kissing it is giving it honor, it is permitted. <ref>Sh"t Rivivot Ephraim 1:27:1 </ref> | ||
