# The bracha of [[shehecheyanu]] is not recited the first time someone puts on [[Tefillin]].<ref> Chida in Machazik Bracha 22, Kaf Hachaim Palachi 10:8 based on Tosfot Menachot 75, against the tosefta [[Brachot]] 6:10 which says that when one makes [[Tzitzit]] or [[Tefillin]], to recite [[shehecheyanu]], this is brought down by the Rambam Hilchot [[Brachot]] 11:9. 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 to cover the [[Tefillin]] as well, in order to avoid the safek.</ref> | |||
# Some Moroccan communities did have the custom for a [[Bar Mitzvah]] boy to recite Shehechiyanu on his new Tefillin, but many recommend reciting the Shehechiyanu on a new Tallit to exempt it instead.<ref>Magen Avot (Orach Chaim 22:1)</ref> | |||
