# The Sephardic | # The Ashkenazi custom is to stand while puttin on both the arm and head Tefillin.<ref>Rama (Orach Chaim 25:11)</ref> | ||
# The Arizal instructed that the Tefillin Shel Yad be put on while seated, so the common Sephardic custom is to place the [[Tefillin]] shel yad while seated and the [[Tefillin]] shel rosh while standing,<ref>Chesed La'alafim 25:4, Kaf HaChaim 25:33, Sh"t Yechave Daat 4:36</ref> and remain standing while wrapping the [[Tefillin]] around the hand after puttin on the Shel Rosh.<ref> Kaf Hachayim 25:68, Chesed La'alafim 25:11, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Rephael Baruch Toledano, siman 10, laws of the donning of [[tefillin]], seif 18 </ref> This is also the Moroccan custom.<ref>Rav Mordechai Lebhar (Magen Avot, Orach Chaim 25:11) writes how the Minhag of many Moroccan communities and leaders was to be seated for the Tefillin Shel Yad. Although the common people did often put on both standing, one cannot derive a Minhag from what was probably convenient for them as they walked in to shul. Some compromise and recite the Beracha sitting and then stand to wrap the Shel Yad. See Shemesh uMagen 2 CM 3:2, Emek Yehoshua 1:34 and 3:31, Mayim Chaim 2:OC 93 at the end, and Tevuot Shamesh 1:67</ref> | |||
# A Sephardi who prays in an Ashkenazic [[minyan]] should place his [[Tefillin]] according to Sephardic minhag. <ref> Sh"t Yechave Daat 4:36 </ref> | |||
