When should tefillin be removed on Rosh Chodesh — before Hallel, before Torah reading, before or at U'Va L'Tziyon, or at the beginning of Musaf?
Synopsis
The Mechaber states the custom to remove tefillin before Musaf. Authorities debate the precise timing: before Hallel, before Torah reading, at U'Va L'Tziyon (before Yehi Ratzon), or upon beginning Musaf. On Chol HaMoed, which is a full Yom Tov, tefillin must be removed before Hallel.
