A famous story about R. Chaim Volozhiner, when asked why he didn't put on
Rabbeinu Tam t'fillin: "The din says that unless one is a chosid, he
shouldn't, because it's mechazei k'yuhara. If I'll come before the
Beis Din shel Ma'ala and be asked, 'Chayim, you were a chosid, why didn't
you put on Rabbeinu Tam's t'fillin?,' I'll have an excuse: I didn't think
I was a chosid. But if I were to be asked, 'Chayim, you weren't a
chosid, why _did_ you put on Rabbeinu Tam's t'fillin?,' what excuse will
I have?"<br>
