May a student remove his tefillin in front of his rabbi?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that one should not remove tefillin in front of his rabbi but should turn aside. The Taz and Magen Avraham debate whether this applies even if the rabbi has already removed his own tefillin. The Mishnah Berurah notes that the concern is about showing disrespect by uncovering one's head before the rabbi.
