31 (IIRC) notes that the minhag during the time of the earlier rishonim was
to wear tfillin on chol hamoed but he came across a statement by R"SBY (Zohar)
that it was a seriously bad thing to do and so the minhag
changed.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

the reason that the shatz takes off his tfillin before hallel on chol hamoed is
because of the congregation will be taking out their lulavim and etrogim so
shatz will have time to take off
tfillin</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><br><br><table bgcolor=white style="color:black"><tr><td><br>THIS MESSAGE IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE USE OF THE <br>
