According to the Torah (Jewish Bible), tefillin should be worn as a sign or reminder that God brought the Jewish people out of slavery in Egypt. Since Shabbat is a day of rest, it serves to remind us of this in its own right; therefore the laying of tefillin is unnecessary. The same applies during Pesach (Passover), Sukkot, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Some rabbis, rishonim (rabbis living between the 11th and 15th centuries) and poskim (legal scholars) argue that tefillin should also not be worn during the Hol HaMoed, the weekdays of Pesach and Sukkot, while others say that they should be worn (with the result that most Ashkenazic Jews - those originating from Northern Europe - and Yemenite Jews do with the exception of some Chassidim such as Chabad, whereas most Sephardic Jews - those from Spain, Portugal and Northern Africa - do not).
