# One should wait until at least the kedusha of uva litzion before removing their tefillin. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 25:13. </ref> Preferably though one should wait until after al ken in aleinu lishabeach. <ref> Arizal in Shaar Kavanot derush 5 tefillin, Ben Ish Chai Parashat Chayei Sara: halacha 10. </ref> | |||
# Ideally, one should learn a little bit of torah with his tefillin on after prayers. <ref> Arizal quoted by Ben Ish Chai Chayei Sara 11, Chida in machazik beracha siman 25. </ref> | |||
# Remove tefillin as follows: standing or sitting remove finger, hand, and two windings of forearm. Then stand to take off shel Rosh and sit to take off rest of shel yad. <ref> Ben Ish Chai Chayei Sara: halacha 10. </ref> | |||
# One should remove the shel Rosh with his weaker hand to show his desire to fulfill mitzvot and reluctance to stop. <ref> Ben Ish Chai Chayei Sara: Halacha 10. </ref> | |||
# It is a nice practice to kiss the tefillin upon removing them. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 28:3, | |||

# If one puts his talit and Tefillin in the same bag, one should be careful to place the Talit to the side of the Tefillin so that one takes the Talit first and then the Tefillin. <ref>S"A 25:1 writes that one must not place the Tefillin above the Talit because otherwise one may take the Tefillin before the Talit.

However, Halacha Brurah 25 writes that it's not respectful to the Tefillin to place the Talit above the Tefillin, therefore it should be placed in a separate bag or to the side of the Tefillin. </ref> | ||
# If one isn’t going to fulfill the mitzvot of Talit and Tefillin one may pass over one and take the other. <ref> Mishna Brurah 25:3 writes that the law that one can’t pass up a mitzvah only applies when one intends to do the mitzvah. </ref>Hence if the Tefillin was mistakenly placed above the Talit and one doesn’t plan on fulfilling the mitzvah with them now one may remove both and rearrange it. <ref> This follows clearly from the above Mishna Brurah but is written as an example in Halachot of Tefillin by Rabbi Shlomo Churba (page 7) quoting Or Letzion (vol 2, 44:16). </ref> | # If one isn’t going to fulfill the mitzvot of Talit and Tefillin one may pass over one and take the other. <ref> Mishna Brurah 25:3 writes that the law that one can’t pass up a mitzvah only applies when one intends to do the mitzvah. </ref>Hence if the Tefillin was mistakenly placed above the Talit and one doesn’t plan on fulfilling the mitzvah with them now one may remove both and rearrange it. <ref> This follows clearly from the above Mishna Brurah but is written as an example in Halachot of Tefillin by Rabbi Shlomo Churba (page 7) quoting Or Letzion (vol 2, 44:16). </ref> | ||
