# The tefillin are removed before we recite [[Mussaf]] on [[Rosh Chodesh]]. <ref> Mishna Berura 25:59 | # The tefillin are removed before we recite [[Mussaf]] on [[Rosh Chodesh]]. <ref> S"A 25:13, S"A 423:4, Mishna Berura 25:59, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 10:19, Rivevot Ephraim 7:317, Kaf Hachayim 25:94. Beit Yosef 25 s.v. "ubayom" writes that since in [[kedusha]] we recite that the angels should give Hashem a crown it would be improper for us to show our crowns, the tefillin. See Kaf Hachayim 25:94 for Kabbalistic reasons behind the removal of tefillin before [[Mussaf]]. </ref> | ||
# 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 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> Levush 25:13, Mishna Berura 423:10 </ref> | |||
# In specific, on [[Rosh Chodesh]] one should take off his [[tefilin]] after the [[kaddish]] which is recited before the Shemonah Esrei of [[Mussaf]]. <ref> Kitzur S"A of Rav Rephael Baruch Toledano, siman 10, laws of the donning of [[tefilin]], seif 34. </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> | # 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> | ||

# 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!

# 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. If it is too difficult, he can be lenient since he has already fulfilled his obligation. <ref> Sh"t Yechave Daat 6:6. 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> | |||
