Reply To: Putting on Tefilin on Chal Hamoed

So the consensus is that one should put on Teffilin during chol hamoed but should only do so when sitting in the area where one normally has built a sukkah and must follow the davening by eating a pas gebrokts. Whats clear is there are more minhagim than there are gadolim and other chashuve rabboniom who can be cited as the source of the minhag. I cannot think of any other yom tov or chag where there seems to be so many variations of what was once a fairly prescribed routine.
