Question
Someone flying with the deceased on a plane to bury him in Eretz Yisrael, who has nothing to occupy himself with during the flight, should he put on tefillin on the plane?
Answer
If it is the day of death, the day of burial, or the day of hearing the news, he does not put on tefillin. However, if it is not one of these days, due to the time taken for transportation, he should put on tefillin without a blessing.
