Question
My Tefillin are not with me in the morning but in another city, and I have two options: either to pray now without Tefillin and put them on later, or to travel home before prayer (from Jerusalem to Kfar Saba) and put them on during prayer. The question is whether traveling before Shacharit is more severe than Shacharit without Tefillin.
Answer
Shalom Rav,
It is permitted to travel before prayer in order to fulfill the mitzvah of Tefillin properly.
However, if you can borrow Tefillin from someone else and pray with them, you should not travel before prayer.
