| women can be obligated regarding tefillin R. Meir & R. Judah agree regarding women. Thus, tefillin must be a positive mitzvah without a fixed time and women are obligated to perform all such mitzvot. baraita, Tosefta Eruvin 8:15 Mikhal bat Shaul HaMelech wore tefillin with the approval of the sages. |
