ובציצית בהא קמיפלגי מר סבר חובת טלית הוא ומר סבר חובת גברא הוא

But one never says, '[Blessed. and hast commanded us] to make the tefillin!' - Indeed this is the true principle: Wherever a precept is completed by a single act,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'comes to an end by the doing thereof'.');">⁴</span> e.g. , circumcision, although it may be performed by a gentile, when an Israelite performs it he must pronounce a blessing; and wherever a precept is not completed by a single act, e.g. , the tefillin,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For the performance of the precept of tefillin is not completed by the making but by the wearing of them.');">⁵</span>
