==Shimusha Rabba Tefillin==
===How Shimusha Rabba Tefillin are Made===
# There are a few defining details about Shimusha Rabba Tefillin, including the taggin (serifs), reversed order of the parshiot, and etzbayim by etzbayim size. According to some, they are essentially [[Rashi]] Tefillin made to size, whereas others think the order of parshiot must also be reversed.<ref>[https://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=15787&st=&pgnum=70 Shaarei Halacha uMinhag Orach Chaim 1:31]</ref>
===When Shimusha Rabba Should Be Worn===
# The Arizal used to wear Rabbenu Tam Tefillin at Mincha, but, when he made a pair of Shimusha Rabba Tefillin, he began wearing that at Mincha instead.<ref>Kaf HaChaim (Orach Chaim 37:10)</ref>
# Even though it is uncommon, Sephardim follow the practice of the Arizal, so those who wear Shimusha Rabba do so at Mincha with a Beracha.<Ref>Or Letzion 2:3:12, Yalkut Yosef (Orach Chaim 37:4). They both argue that since the Shimusha Rabba are essentially Rashi Tefillin, one should recite a Beracha according to Peshat, even though the Rama Mifano 107, Chida (Machzik Beracha Orach Chaim 34:4), and Yaskil Avdi (vol. 8, Deah VeHaskel 6:8) argue that one should not recite a beracha because the Tefillin are so holy. See Halichot Olam vol. 1 pg 25</ref>
# Some say one should not wear Shimusha Rabba at Mincha with a Tzibbur if nobody else does, because that would be Yuhara unless the person is well known for his piety. So, unless others are aslo wearing them, one should put them on privately.<ref>Yalkut Yosef (Orach Chaim 37:5)</ref> Others disagree.<ref>Or Letzion 2:3:12</ref>
# One does not wear them on Erev Shabbat or Erev Yom Tov, but he does on Rosh Chodesh.<ref>Yalkut Yosef (Orach Chaim 34:16, 37:4)</ref>
# Some recommend wearing them after Shacharit.<ref>[https://www.chabad.org/therebbe/article_cdo/aid/5865/jewish/Hayom-Yom-Menachem-Av-19.htm HaYom Yom 19 Menachem Av], [https://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=15787&st=&pgnum=70 Shaarei Halacha uMinhag Orach Chaim 1:31] See there for the step by step guide to wearing all four pairs every morning.</ref>
===Who Should Wear Shimusha Rabba===
# One who lives an outstandingly pure life may wear Shimusha Rabba, perhaps after forty years of age.<ref>[https://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=15787&st=&pgnum=70 Shaarei Halacha uMinhag Orach Chaim 1:31]</ref>
