# Pious individuals have the practice of wearing both [[Tefillin]] of Rashi and Rabbenu Tam, with no bracha when putting on the Rabbenu Tam. <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Rephael Baruch Toledano, siman 10, the order of the donning, seif 2.  Shulchan Aruch 34:2-3 rules that that the especially pious should wear both sets, but added that only one commonly known to be especially pious may do so, so as not to appear as arrogant in one's piety. However, Halacha Brurah (Rabbi David Yosef, 34:1) writes that since it has become the practice of many common people to wear both [[Tefillin]] of Rashi and Rabbenu Tam it is not considered an issue of arrogance to wear both pairs of [[Tefillin]]. Aruch Hashulchan 34:5 agrees. Sh"t Yabia Omer OC 3:4 writes that if one has this stringency he should remove the Rashi and place the Rabbeinu Tam before the [[kedusha]] of "uva litzion". </ref>
