# If one mistakenly put on Rabbenu Tam first with a Beracha, he should take them off and switch to Rashi Tefillin. Some poskim say one should recite a new Beacha when putting on the [[Rashi]] [[Tefillin]],<ref> Ben Ish Chai Vayera 24</ref>, but others say a new Beracha would only be warranted if one interrupted by praying or speaking in between the original Beracha and Rashi Tefilln.<ref>Rav Ovadia Yosef in Halichot Olam volume 1 page 26 says that this is only if the person has prayed something in between but if he remembers immediately no bracha should be recited.

====Rashi and Rabbenu Tam at The Same Time==== | |||
# 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), Piskei Teshuvot 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). See Yabia Omer 5 OC 5, Halichot Olam 1 pg 24</ref> | |||
# Some Poskim give lenient dispensation regarding how high up on the arm one can place the Rashi Tefillin when attempting to wear both pairs simultaneously,<Ref>Or LeTzion 2:3:2</ref> but others argue that if there isn't enough room to wear them both in the ideal fashion, they should just be worn consecutively instead.<ref>Yabia Omer vol. 9 OC 108:21</ref> | |||
