Let’s see whether this comment finds favor in the moderator,s mind and let it through.

Most of this post concentrated-rightly- on tefillin but the last couple of comments (rebbe yid and DaasYochid) have added tallis to this ocnversation. This must be incorrect. There is much less of an objection to women wearing a tallis than tefillin. Please check the actual “loshon” of the Remo (orach chaim 38), who says,by tefillin, speaking explicitly of women, “mochin bejodon” but actually allows it by a tallis (orach chaim 17), where he does not single out women at all. He only adds the opinion of the “Ogur” that discourages it because it is “jehuro” (highmindedness). There is anecdotal history of chassidich rebbetzins wearing a talis koton-thereby negating the problem of the “Ogur’, yet executing the mitzva.
