# The Gemara states how there is room on the head for two pairs of Tefillin; therefore, some say one should ideally wear both Rashi and Rabbenu Tam at the same time, one in front of the other. Since this is only possible if one has Tefillin that are small enough to fit in the appropriate spaces on one's body and ensures that the parshiot were prepared and inserted by an expert sofer, many recommend just wearing them consecutively. If nobody else in the synagogue wears both at the same time, it's also better to wear them consecutively.<Ref>Or LeTzion 2:3:8, Yabia Omer vol. 9 OC 108:21, Yalkut Yosef (Orach Chaim 34:2). See Yaskil Avdi O.C. 8:22, Yabia Omer vol. 1 OC 3</ref> If one attempts to wear them both at the same time, he should make sure the boxes and knots of the Shel Roshs do not overlap, but it's fine if the straps overlap.<ref>Ohr LeTzion 2:3:9, Yabia Omer 9 OC 108:26, Yalkut Yosef (Orach Chaim 34:4).

# On [[Rosh Chodesh]], one should put on Rabbenu Tam Tefillin before [[Keriat HaTorah]], even during Berich Shemeh, and recite the two Parshiot of Shema and Vehaya. On should ideally not put them on after Mussaf to learn Torah even if he usually does. However, if he's the Shaliach Tzibbur and has no previous opportunity or prays very slowly and won't be able to finish Shema in time for Mussaf, he may put them on afterwards. Alternatively, there is no reason not to put them on before Shacharit, if that is more feasible.<Ref>Yalkut Yosef (Orach Chaim 34:9)</ref>
