Question: [Tuesday, 25th Iyar 5780]
I accidentally wore my Shel Yad of Rabbeinu Tam instead of Rashi and then noticed right away prior to putting on my Shel Rosh. What am I supposed to do? Should I take off the Shel Yad and wrap the Tefillin of Rashi with a blessing? Should I finish wrapping Rabbeinu Tam and then put on Rashi?
Answer:
In such a case that you have already fastened your Shel Yad onto your arm I would suggest that you remove your Shel Yad of Rabbeinu Tam and put on your Rashi Tefillin without a blessing, without making any interval in-between.
