a question
Hi Rabbi, is it allowed to wear tefillin on Tisha B'Av?
Answer
Hello and blessings. Apologies for the delayed response. On Tisha B'Av, wearing tefillin is practiced. Sephardic Jews in Israel typically put on tefillin during the morning prayers and remove them before the recitation of lamentations, while Ashkenazi Jews traditionally wear tefillin only during the afternoon service.
