How frequently must one touch (mishmaish) his tefillin while wearing them?
Synopsis
The obligation to touch one's tefillin while wearing them derives from a kal va-chomer with the tzitz; the precise scope of this obligation is debated. Most authorities hold it means touching whenever one is reminded of them, not literally every moment.
