# In the event that one forgot Yaale Viyavo in [[shacharit]] but only realized after he removed his tefillin, he should preferably put his tefillin back on and pray [[shacharit]] again.

The Chida in Machazik Beracha 25:13 writes that according to kabbalah one may not put his tefillin back on after he recited [[Mussaf]] unless he hasn't yet put tefillin on that day. </ref> | # In the event that one forgot Yaale Viyavo in [[shacharit]] but only realized after he removed his tefillin, he should preferably put his tefillin back on and pray [[shacharit]] again.

# There are two reasons for taking off our [[tefilin]] before [[mussaf]]. The first reason is related to the [[Mussaf]] liturgy. According to nusach sefard and sefardi, the [[Mussaf]] [[Kedusha]] opens with the words “keter yitnu lecha” (“We crown you, our Lord…”) referring to the teaching that the Jewish people, along with the angels, crown God as King of the world. It is explained that it would be unbecoming to make reference to God as the Supreme crowned being while one is wearing tefillin, which are considered to be a crown in their own right. <ref> Mishna Berura 25:61; Shulchan Aruch Harav, OC 25:41 </ref> The second reason tefillin are removed before [[Mussaf]] is in order to add a [[Yom Tov]] flavor to the day. As [[Mussaf]] represents the [[Yom Tov]] nature of [[Rosh Chodesh]] the tefillin are removed at that time. <ref> OC 423:4; Levush 25:13; Mishna Berura 423:10 </ref> | # There are two reasons for taking off our [[tefilin]] before [[mussaf]].

# Some authorities recommend removing the tefillin before the Torah reading as it also represents the [[Yom Tov]] nature of the day, others recommend removing the tefillin before [[Hallel]] for the same reason. <ref> Levush 423:4; Rema Mipano 108 </ref> Some suggest removing the tefillin after the Torah is returned to the aron. <ref> Magen Avraham 28:30 </ref> Nevertheless, the halacha is not in accordance with any of these views. <ref> Magen Avraham 423:6 </ref> | # Some authorities recommend removing the tefillin before the Torah reading as it also represents the [[Yom Tov]] nature of the day, others recommend removing the tefillin before [[Hallel]] for the same reason. <ref> Levush 423:4; Rema Mipano 108 </ref> Some suggest removing the tefillin after the Torah is returned to the aron. <ref> Magen Avraham 28:30 </ref> Nevertheless, the halacha is not in accordance with any of these views. <ref> Magen Avraham 423:6 </ref> | ||
# The widespread custom is to remove the tefillin after the [[kaddish]] that follows uva l’tzion. <ref> Magen Avraham 25:30 </ref> | |||
# Tefillin are often removed they and just placed on a table and not properly put away or wrapped. This is in order to minimize the interruption between the [[kaddish]] and the start of [[Mussaf]]. <ref> Rambam, Hilchot [[Tefilla]] 9:13; Taamei Haminhagim, Inyanei [[Rosh Chodesh]] </ref> Nonetheess, one's tefillin should at least be covered before one begins [[Mussaf]]. <ref> Kaf Hachaim 28:7; Teshuvot V’hanhagot 1:45; Rivevot Ephraim 1:281:5 </ref> Although this approach is normative and based on kabbalisitc considerations, there is reason to suggest that it might not be the ideal manner in which to conduct onself. <ref> Magen Avraham 423:6, Pri Megadim, EA 423:6; Mishna Berura 25:59; Kaf Hachaim, OC 25:94,95. </ref> | |||
# According to a number of authorities the tefillin should be removed while reciting uva l’tzion, just before beginning the yehi ratzon paragraph. <ref> Mishna Berura 25:59. </ref> However, other sources seem to indicate that the tefillin should be removed after completing uva l’tzionbut before the [[kaddish]] is recited. <ref> Siddur Baal Hatanya </ref> | |||
# Leaving the tefillin exposed and unwrapped for the duration of [[Mussaf]] is unbecoming the reverence owed to them. In fact, according to halacha, whenever one removes tefillin one is to wrap and put away the shel-rosh before even removing the shel yad! There does not seem to be any good reason why this halacha should be ignored on [[Rosh Chodesh]]. <ref> Mishna Berura 28:8 </ref> | |||
# Folding the tefillin during the repetition of [[Mussaf]] is also not an option as one is required to listen attentively to the repetition and not engage in any other activities. <ref> Mishna Berura 124:17; Igrot Moshe, OC 4:19; Tzitz Eliezer 11:10 </ref> As such, the tefillin are left unwrapped and exposed for an exceptionally long time. <ref> Pri Megadim, MZ 34:2 </ref> | |||
