Daily Halacha - Prayer Laws, 8th of Cheshvan 5778

If one encounters Tefillin first before wrapping in a Tallit, must one put on the Tefillin before the Tallit?

When storing Tallit and Tefillin in the same bag, one should be careful to encounter the Tallit first, because if one encounters the Tefillin first, one must put them on before the Tallit in order not to pass over the mitzvot [Shulchan Aruch 25, 1\ Responsa of the Rishon LeZion 2, 2].

Is there an obligation to read Chok L'Israel every day?

A Torah scholar or yeshiva student who studies throughout the day according to his learning schedule does not need to read Chok L'Israel. Nevertheless, it is good and proper for even a yeshiva student to establish a time for studying Chok L'Israel between yeshiva sessions, during times when he is not studying Talmud and its commentaries. [Responsa Yabia Omer 4 Yoreh Deah, 31].
