Rabbeinu Tam’s Tefillin: tefillin in which the written passages are arranged in the order prescribed by Rabbeinu [Yaakov ben Meir] Tam (c. 1100-1171); these tefillin are put on by chassidim and others at the end of the prayers, after Rashi’s tefillin have been removed
Rabbi Leibel Schapiro is Rosh Yeshiva of the Yeshiva Gedolah of Miami. He recalls some of the Rebbe’s special instructions to him when he first started to don Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin (in 1965).
According to the Arizal, donning Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin is a law, not a custom. The question of “custom” is only whether to don them after Rashi Tefillin or at the same time, but the Arizal holds that all Jewish men are obligated to don both pairs.
