There is much discussion among the rabbis of the Talmud as to the order in which the biblical passages should be written in the arm and head tefillin. The rabbis most famous for this dispute were Rashi and his grandson Rabbeinu Tam and the two versions used today are named after them. Nowadays the prevailing custom of the majority of Jews is to follow the opinion based on Rashi. Rabbenu Joseph Karo wrote in Shulchan Aruch Orech Chaim 34:2 that the especially pious should wear both sets, but added that only one commonly known to be especially pious may do so, perhaps lest one seem ostentatious about one's piety.(34:3) Some wear the Rashi tefillin alone, and then remove them and briefly wear Rabbeinu Tam tefillin. Others wear both sets of tefillin simultaneously, with the Rabbeinu Tam tefillin higher up than the Rashi tefillin. | There is much discussion among the rabbis of the Talmud as to the order in which the biblical passages should be written in the arm and head tefillin.
