Question
I am returning to faith and have not yet purchased tefillin. Which tefillin should I buy: with Ari script, Beit Yosef, or Sephardic? And should I make a parsha break according to Rambam or Taz?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
It depends on the customs of different communities.
Ashkenazim use Beit Yosef script and make a parsha break according to the Taz.
Sephardim use Velish script and make a parsha break according to the Rambam.
