# Many authorities are lenient not to require a Netilat Yadayim if one touches the skin in the area where the Tefillin Shel Yad is placed or rub one’s hair while putting on Tefillin Shel Rosh, <ref> Halichot Shlomo (Tefillah 4:3), Sh”T Shelmat Chaim 39-40, Kaf HaChaim 4:59 </ref> however, some are strict. <Ref>Piskei Teshuvot 27:2 quoting Dinim Vehanahot LeChazon Ish 3:10 and Chelkat Yehoshua 6:7</ref> | # Many authorities are lenient not to require a Netilat Yadayim if one touches the skin in the area where the Tefillin Shel Yad is placed or rub one’s hair while putting on Tefillin Shel Rosh, <ref> Halichot Shlomo (Tefillah 4:3), Sh”T Shelmat Chaim 39-40, Kaf HaChaim 4:59 </ref> however, some are strict. <Ref>Piskei Teshuvot 27:2 quoting Dinim Vehanahot LeChazon Ish 3:10 and Chelkat Yehoshua 6:7</ref> | ||
# Nothing can interpose between the Tefillin or the area where the straps wrap around the arm and one’s body, however, in the area of the knot one may have an interposition. <Ref>S”A 27:4, Mishna Brurah 27:16 </ref> | # Nothing can interpose between the Tefillin or the area where the straps wrap around the arm and one’s body, however, in the area of the knot one may have an interposition. <Ref>S”A 27:4, Mishna Brurah 27:16 </ref> | ||
==Physical Separation/Chatzitza== | |||
Any foreign substance between the head and the tfillin shel rosh, is considered a separation. <ref> SA 27:4 quoting the Sh"ut Harosh 3:4. Shut Harashba 3:282 says there is no such thing as a separation for the tfillin shel rosh, only shel yad. </ref> | |||
#Loose dirt <ref> Mishna Berura 27:14 </ref>, water in your hair<ref> Shaare Teshuva 27:6 says one should make sure to dry his hair well if he wet it before putting on the tfillin, both because it could damage the tfillin, and because the water itself could be considered a separation.</ref>, long hair <ref> Machatzit Hashekel 27 and Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 10:6 say that although short hair would not be a problem, excessively long hair could be. Mishna Berura 27:14-15 agrees to this, and says that it also could be hard to keep the tfillin lined up between the eyes and at the right height with long hair. Aruch Hashulchan 27:14 as well as Rav Ovadia (Yechave Daat 2:2/22) say that really long hair is not such a big problem and you have on who to rely. The Aruch Hashulchan says only hair moved from another place would be problematic. </ref> are all potentially problematic. | |||
