    There is a commandment to say Kries Shma in the morning which requires tefillin as it says to tie it on as a symbolism an os on your hand and head. On Shabbos and Yom Tov since they are a symbolism for themselves, we don’t need to put on tefillin. You should say kries shma in its right time without tefillin (if unable to put on) and re-say it when tefillin is available. We don’t put on tefillin at night.

    Originally Tefilin were worn the entire day.

    With tefillin you tie yourself to Hashem on your left hand with one sense, feeling, with one compartment, recognizing your weakness close to the heart, thereby sanctifying your actions, and on your head to sanctify your mind which contains four senses (smelling, tasting, seeing, hearing) with four compartments.

    Tosfos in Menachos 35b brings a machlokes whether one must lay tefillin daily or not.

    Pri Megadim is mistapek whether the chiyuv is constant or daily – http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=41247&st=&pgnum=61

    Rabbeinu Yonah in Iggeres Teshuva Ois 24 writes that one who doesn’t wear tefillin has close to 300 עונשים yearly (excluding Shabbos and Yom Tov etc.)

    Smag (Asei #3) and Shibolei HaLeket (Inyan Tefillin) are clear that the Gemara (Menachos 44) which says that “he who doesn’t fulfill the obligation of tefillin is oiver 8 miztvos” refers to daily. (He proceeds to say some very interesting things about tefillin being beikar for reshaim, not tzaddikim… See also Maharik 174).

    Ritv”a Shabbos 49 – Chiyuv is Min HaTorah B’shas Krias Shema (or, at least, Kabbalas Oil Malchus Shamayim)

    The Brisker Rav – quoted by Reb Moshe Shternbuch תשובות והנהגות ח”א סי’ מ”ט, ח”ב סי’ ל, ח”ג סי” י”א – held that the chiyuv is all day, and there is nothing different about today than tomorrow, so not wearing it for a whole day does not constitute more of a bittul than not wearing it for an hour.

    Yekke2, This Rabbenu Yonah agrees with the Rabbenu Bechaye in Parshas Ki Sovo that the shiyan on the tefillin indicates that they are 300 days in a year when we should put on tefillin including chol hamoed.

    Technically, they have nothing to do which each other – at least in terms of Halachah. There is a commandment ot say Krias Shma twice daily, and there is a non related requirement to wear Tefillin. (The Ritva I quoted is a Chiddush, and not Paskened LHalachah)

    What about it?

    The fact remains that the two mitzvos are still unrelated. If you don’t have tefillin (for whatever reason) you still say Krias Sh’ma. Even if you aren’t putting them on by choice, there is *still* a mitzvah to say Krias Sh’ma.

    Likewise, tefillin doesn’t depend on saying Krias Sh’ma. If you put on tefillin during the day and don’t say Krias Sh’ma, you are still mekayem the mitzvah of tefillin.

    Yekke2, There are two different mitzvos for krias shma one for day another for night. As per the Shagas Aryeh it makes it a time bound mitzva. So the day might have to be said with tefillin but not at night.

    Wolf, We might go a step further, if you have no reason for not putting on tefillin, and you say krias shma without it, it might be a מצוה הבאה בעבירה because it is an עדות שקר and you are not yotza krias shma. See MB 25:4

    If you are going to sit behind a shtender shteiging 24×7, except for sleeping and and periodic asher yatzar moments, than its certainly possible to wear tefillin all day, every day (other than shabbos/yom tovim). However, for 90 percent of the tzibur who in the real world have to go out and work fo a parnassah, whether a farmer working the fields, a skilled worker in construction or a professional working in a laboratory or computer faciliy, you are fortunate to have an 30-45 minutes in the AM to put on teffiilin during shachris.

    Wolf, Even though they are unrelated, it still encourages to put on tefilin every day, when we don’t have another os, to be able to say krias shma with tefilin as this thread questions. Mechaber O”CH 25:4 and MB there.

    My apologies, then. I misunderstood your post. I thought you were trying to make the point that Sh’ma cannot be said without Tefillin (or vice-versa).

    Wolf, did you see my previous post that if someone can put on Tefillin and he doesn’t put it on on- purpose, he might not be yotze krias shma because it is an עדות שקר and be a מצוה הבאה בעבירה? See MB 25:4 only בדיעבד יוצא.

    because it is an עדות שקר and be a מצוה הבאה בעבירה?

    The problem with that, of course, is that it’s not *really* testimony. Do you only put on tefillin if another non-relative is present?

    Isn’t it a false testimony? The Chasam Sofer held that a person who does not follow shamita should not be עולה when it is being leined on Yom Tov.
    We have a minhag according to the Chok Yaakov for those who wear Tefillin to keep it on the first day of Chol Hamoed when leining kadesh.

    No, because it’s not actually testimony — and the lav is on testifying falsely.

    The Chasam Sofer held that a person who does not follow shamita should not be עולה when it is being leined on Yom Tov.

    And I’m sure a thief should not be called up when we lain “Lo Tignovu.” But so what? What does that have to do with anything? Laining isn’t testimony either.

    We have a minhag according to the Chok Yaakov for those who wear Tefillin to keep it on the first day of Chol Hamoed when leining kadesh.

    And? So what? It’s a nice minhag, but I fail to see how that has any relevance here. If your ba’al kriah doesn’t have the custom to wear tefillin on Chol HaMoed, he can still lain, no?

    ‘The Chasam Sofer held that a person who does not follow shamita should not be עולה”

    I think he brings it as a minhag of Rav Noson Adler, he is stating against the minhag of chasidim (at the time) that didn’t allow anyone wearing wool to be olah. He says what about Chadash (something chassidim weren’t makpid) etc.
    In any case i don’t think it has with tefilin as many rishonim hold you should not wear any Chol Hamoed, whereas he is talking about someone who did make a prusbal.

    In Shvuos 25b it is clear that there is a Chiyuv every day. The Gemara states clearly that you cannot swear that you won’t put on Tefillin that day.

    Karkafta Delo Manach Tefillin is a separate issue. It is about that Tosafos says it refers to one who never put on.

    Tosafos in Shabbos 131 seems to imply that any Mitzva which is constant is bound to each day.

    I have seen the eight letter of the aleph bais spelled “ch”, “kh” and just plain “h” (h is a slightly better fit for the Sephardi pronunciation).
    From which country is a person who writes it with a “j”? Mexico?

    Maybe it’s a typo? The “h” and “j” are adjacent on the keyboard.
