</blockquote></div><br>Some pointers:<br>Dr. Jacob [Ya'akov] Katz wrote a chapter on this on his work on Halcacha and Kabbalah <br>Also see the Ikkar Tosfos YT at the end of Moe'd Katan for an involved argument for not wearing Tefillin on ChhM.<br>
<br>Let's jsut say this, AFAIK Ashkenzim DID wear Tefillin on ChhM from the time of the Rosh thru the time of the Rema w/o signifcant devation. AIUI, the rupture from this minhag Avos happened in the 18th Century.<br>
<br>The issue of Bracha was/is far more complex.<br>You see in shuls like Breuer's the Shatz says Bracha on Teillin OUT LOUD. But as per Rema the bracha IS said, but only silently. {other poskim say to not say it at all] but if you mimetically followed th Shatz you might assume NOT to say was the minhag Ashkenaz. But this is not necesarily so because the Minhag to say it silently would be hard to mimic, so the mimetic impact would be minimzed in this mode. <br>
<br>Tangentially: it is possible that Hashem Sefasia was said by Shatz silently and people did not hear it and therefore did not know it and assume it was never said.<br><br>I guess getting back to Tefilin on ChhM MAYBE, just MAYBE people who DID were Tefilin did so in an unusually inconspicuous way and this led to confusion, just as silence did.<br>
