# [[Tefillin]] are not worn on [[Shabbat]] and the major [[holidays]] including [[Pesach]], [[Shavuot]], [[Rosh Hashana]], [[Yom Kippur]] and [[Sukkot]]. The reason given | # [[Tefillin]] are not worn on [[Shabbat]] and the major [[holidays]] including [[Pesach]], [[Shavuot]], [[Rosh Hashana]], [[Yom Kippur]] and [[Sukkot]]. Yom Tov Sheni are equally excluded.<ref>Mishna Brurah 31:1</ref> The reason given is that these [[holidays]] are themselves "signs" which render the use of [[Tefillin]], which are to serve as "signs" themselves, superfluous. <ref> Gemara Menachot 36b, Shulchan Aruch O.C. 31:1, Mishna Brurah 31:1, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Rephael Baruch Toledano, siman 10, laws of tefillin on shabbat and yom tov, seif 1. The Piskei Rid 36b explains that Yom Tov is compared to Shabbat and Shabbat is considered a sign. Mishna Brurah 31:3 explains slightly differently. He says that Pesach the year when they left Egypt is called a sign and all the holidays are compared to it.</ref> | ||
