תלמוד על מנחות 80:19
Tractate Tzitzit
All1Even women. are subject to the obligation of zizith. R. Simeon exempts women since [the commandment of zizith] is a positive commandment which is dependent on a fixed time.2From which women are exempt. The duty of wearing zizith is restricted to day-time. Any minor who knows how to wrap himself with a ṭallith3lit. zizith, but applied to the shawl to which it is attached. [Cf. the wording of the benediction connected with the performance of the commandment in P.B., p. 14, where ‘fringed garment’ is simply zizith in the Heb.] should be provided with it by his father. A ṭallith which is [long enough to] cover one’s head and the greater part of the body is subject to zizith.
