If one was traveling with tefillin when Shabbat (or nightfall on a weekday) arrived, what must one do?
Synopsis
One caught traveling with tefillin at the onset of Shabbat or nightfall should cover them with one's hand until reaching home or a safe place, to avoid appearing to sanction nighttime wearing. On Shabbat the concern is also about carrying in a public domain.
