Should one recite a blessing when wearing tefillin on Chol HaMoed (according to those who permit/require wearing)?
Synopsis
Among those who hold tefillin are worn on Chol HaMoed, there is a further dispute about whether to recite a blessing. The Rema records the practice of reciting a blessing quietly. Later authorities, including the Taz and the Mishnah Berurah, recommend wearing without a blessing due to the principle of safek berachot lehakeil.
