Eruvin 96: The One about Michal bat Shaul and Her Tefillin

Talking Talmud - Een podcast door Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon

On whether Shabbat is a time for tefillin - and how the need for intent (or lack thereof) has impact on the question of how or whether you bring in the found tefillin on Shabbat. Likewise, how the concert of bal tosif has impact on this question (which is connected to the question of intent, to be sure). Also: What about women doing positive time-bound mitzvot - women may not have to do them, but can they? What about women and tefillin? The cases of Michal, daughter of King Saul, the wife of Yonah, and the laying of hands on an animal sacrifice. "Nashim somchot reshut!" Plus: A comment on tekhelet and tzitzit, and what looks like the mitzvah even though it isn't really the mitzvah. Which has ramifications for new tefillin that might not be tefillin, but amulets. Maybe.
