Question
I put on tefillin, and afterwards I needed to go into the bathroom, so I removed them. Now that I have left the bathroom and want to put the tefillin back on, do I need to recite a beracha again, even though the entire time I intended to continue wearing them after I came out?
Answer
Shalom u’veracha.
You need to recite the beracha again.
Since the first wearing was interrupted when you entered the bathroom, where it is forbidden to wear tefillin, this is considered an interruption, even though there was no hesech da’at (distraction of mind).
