Question
Shalom and Kol HaKavod for this wonderful service.
I recently purchased Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin. When is the best time to put them on in the morning? I have heard various opinions from during Chazaras HaShatz, after Ashrei, or after davening alltogether and just saying some Tehillim with them. Thank you.
Answer
Tefillin of Rabeinu Tam should be put on after davening. After putting them on you should recite the first two Parshiyot of Shma.
