A person\u2019s tallit<\/i> is put on before his tefillin<\/i>, for tefillin<\/i> are holier than tzitzit<\/i>, and it is proper to rise gradually in the levels of sanctity (Shulchan Aruch<\/i> 25:1).<\/p>\n
In addition to the regular kavanah<\/i> that one must have at the time that he performs any mitzvah, which is the intention to fulfill a mitzvah of Hashem, we learn in the Torah that the mitzvah of tzitzit<\/i> is to remind us of all Hashem\u2019s commandments so that we may fulfill them. By performing the mitzvah of tefillin<\/i> we are reminded to \u201censlave\u201d our hearts and minds to the service of Hashem, and to remember His Oneness and the Exodus from Egypt (Shulchan Aruch<\/i> 8:8; 25:5). These kavanot<\/i> are printed in the siddurim<\/i>, and although there is no obligation to say them, it is at least necessary to think them.<\/p>\n
Those who want to enhance the mitzvah put on their tallit<\/i> and tefillin<\/i> at home and come to synagogue adorned in them (Shulchan Aruch<\/i> 25:2). Even if this prevents them from being one of the first ten people to arrive, it is still preferable to put on one\u2019s tefillin<\/i> at home and come to synagogue wearing them (see Mishnah Berurah<\/i> 90:47).<\/p>\n
Because of the sanctity of tefillin<\/i>, it is forbidden to let one\u2019s mind wander from them the whole time that he is wearing them. Therefore, one must touch his tefillin<\/i> frequently (Shulchan Aruch<\/i> 28:1).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
