Jerusalem Talmud Kiddushin

610Here begins the discussion of the second half of the Mishnah. Except for a sentence which has disappeared from the Leiden ms. and editio princeps, this paragraph is from Berakhot 3:3, Notes 143–146. The ms. text there is noted ת, the Rome ms. R. The text in quotation marks is from Tosephta 1:10.“What is a positive commandment that is activated by time? For example sukkah, and shofar, and lulab, and tefillin. What is a positive commandment that is not activated by time? For example lost articles, sending away the [mother from the] nest, railing, and ẓiẓit611The Babli, Qiddušin 33b, does not mention ẓiẓit, cf. Berakhot, Note 146; it is quoted Menaḥot 43a.. Rebbi Simeon exempts women from ẓiẓit because it is a positive commandment activated by time.” Rebbi Simeon said to them: Do you not agree with me that it is a positive commandment activated by time? Because a nightgown is exempt from ẓiẓit. Rebbi Hila said: The reason of the rebbis is that, if a garment is designated both for daytime and for night, it needs ẓiẓit.
