Reply To: R' Chaim Kanievski Women Wearing Tefillin

Daasyochid:

Clarifications:

1)I am absolutely not advocating that women should wear Tefillin.

2)The Beis Yosef assumes that the guf naki issue is the explanation of the man d’amar that the chachomim protested Michal. R’ Chaim’s pshat asserts that the man d’amar’s issue is guf naki which means that there is no reason to say that there is an issue of guf naki.

3)I never said that it is the best pshat. Although I could easily see it as the best pshat.

4)I am not talking about R’ Harcsztark or any other individual person.

5)See the hakdama of the Yam Shel Shlomo on BK and Chulin and the Rambam’s hakdama to Mishnah Torah.

6)So what I am saying is that if someone thinks that this pshat is the best pshat and they follow such a halachic methodology (you can claim that they can’t if you want) and they think there is a legitimate reason for a woman to wear Tefillin then they have some good footing.
