| '''==Teffilin==
| | Tefillin are a holy article made from animal hide used to for a important mitzvah. The Tefillin boxes house 4 parshiyot of the Torah written on animal hide. There is an obligation for men over the age of [[Bar Mitzvah]] to wear Tefillin daily.<ref>Rambam Sefer HaMitzvot (Aseh 12 and 13).</ref><br> |
| # One should put on Talit before Teffilin. <Ref>S”A 25:1 says that the Talit goes first because we want to increase in Kedusha from Talit to Teffilin. </ref>Even if the Talit is only obligated in Tzitzit Derabbanan it still takes precedence to the Teffilin. <Ref> Halacha Brurah 25:7. </ref>

| | * [[When to Wear Tefillin]] |
| The obligation of tefillin is mentioned four times in the Torah: twice when recalling the The Exodus from Egypt:
| |
| #"And it shall be for a sign for you upon your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the law of the LORD may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand did the LORD bring you out of Egypt."—Exodus 13:9
| |
| #"And it shall be for a sign upon your hand, and as totafot between your eyes; for with a mighty hand did the LORD bring us forth out of Egypt."—Exodus 13:16
| |
| and twice in the 1st two paragraphs of Kriat Shema:
| |
| #"And you shall bind them as a sign upon your arm, and they shall be as totafot between your eyes."—Deuteronomy 6:8
| |
| #"You shall put these words of mine on your heart and on your soul; and you shall tie them for a sign upon your arm, and they shall be as totafot between your eyes."—Deuteronomy 11:18
