[Avodah] minhag avos

[Alan Rubin]

Regarding chol kamoed Dov Kaiser stated.

>  the undisputed minhag EY is not to wear tefillin

Is this really the case?

I have been listening to shiurim given by Rabbi David bar Kayeem on
the machon shilo web site. He may be a bit of an iconoclast but what
he says makes me wonder about this minhag. My background is very much
a 'not wearing tefillin on chol hamoed' one but I am somwhat
uncomfortable with a minhag which seems to be entirely based on
kabbalah.
