# The tefillin are removed before we recite [[Mussaf]] on [[Rosh Chodesh]]. <ref> S"A 25:13, S"A 423:4, Mishna Brurah 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 Brurah 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 Brurah 423:10 </ref>
* 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. This is quoted in Mishna Berura 25:61 as well as S"A Harav 25:41.
# 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> There is also a widespread custom is to remove the tefillin after the [[kaddish]] that follows uva l’tzion. <ref> Magen Avraham 25:30; Levush 423:4 and Rema Mipano 108 indicate that 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. Magen Avraham 28:30 says that some suggest removing the tefillin after the Torah is returned to the aron. Nevertheless, Magen Avraham 423:6 teaches that the halacha is not in accordance with any of these views. </ref>

# Leaving the tefillin exposed and unwrapped for the duration of [[Mussaf]] is unbecoming the reverence owed to them.

There does not seem to be any good reason why this halacha should be ignored on [[Rosh Chodesh]]. <ref> Mishna Brurah 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 Brurah 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>

# 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>
