Q. If after putting on tallis and teffilin, I realize that there won't be enough men for a minyan, if I remove my tallis and teffilin, drive to another shul, and put them on again, am I required to make a new brachah on both the tallis and teffilin?
A. Horav shlomo Miller's Shlit”a opinion is that on the onset in you should keep at least the tefillin on you while travelling to the other shul. I you didn't, you should not repeat the brocho on the ta'alis, since you are still wearing a ta'alis kotton and therefore you were not maasiach daas or turned-off your mind from the mitzva of tzitzis. In regards to the tefillin he maintains that it is a sofek, and in doubt you should also not repeat the brocho. If possible have someone else who is donning tefillin then, recite the brocho for you too.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a.
