Responsa for Shabbat 123:20
והתניא ר' אליעזר פוטר בכובלת ובצלוחית של פלייטון
a positive command limited in time, and from all such women are exempt?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Kid. 29a. The difficulty is based on the assumption that tefillin are not to be worn on the Sabbath, nor at night. Since women are exempt, and at the same time they rank as a separate people, tefillin can surely not be accounted for them an article of attire? ');"><sup>17</sup></span>
Shut min haShamayim
Regarding those men who wear rings on their hands, and walk out wearing them in the public domain on Shabbat. They rely on the Mishnah (Shabbat 6:10) "One may go out with a locust’s egg, a fox’s tooth, and a nail from the cross of a convict for purposes of healing." They say that gold, too, is carried for the purpose of healing. I asked [in my dream] if their reasoning makes any sense. If it doesn't, they are liable for a transgression, as in the ruling of the Mishnah1Mishnah Shabbat 6:1. Rashi and Tosafot disagree on the Talmud's reinterpretation of the mishnaic text (Shabbat 62a:9). The reading proposed here fits Rashi on Shabbat 62a:9, as well as Rif Shabbat 28b, whereby wearing a ring with no signet is considered carrying for a man, and he is liable to bring a sin-offering.
