Question
If someone puts on the hand tefillin and touches the arm above the elbow where the tefillin is placed, do they need to wash their hands?
Answer
Yes, they should rub their hands and put on the head tefillin, and then wash their hands with water, so as not to have a long interruption between the hand and head tefillin.
