Whatever

<<guards them

<<more

<<is preferable.

<<And where

<<does he place

<<them?

<<Rabbi Yirmiya said:

<<between

<<the mattress

<<and the pillow,

<<not

<<opposite

<<his head.

But didn't

<<teach

<<Rabbi Chiya:

<<“He places them

<<in a cap

<<under

<<his head”!

<<Where he takes out

<<it,

<<the protruding end

<<of the cap,

<<outside.

Bar Kappara

<<would tie

<<them

<<in the bed-canopy

<<and take out

<<their protruding end

<<outside.

<<Rav Sheisha son of Rav Idi

<<would place

<<them

<<on a bench

<<and spread

<<a cloth

<<over them.

Rav Hamnuna son of Rav Yosef said:

<<One time

<<I was

<<standing

<<before

<<Rava,

<<and he said

<<to me:

<<“Go

<<bring

<<me

<<tefillin.”

<<And I found them

<<between

<<the mattress

<<and the pillow,

<<not

<<opposite

<<his head.

<<And I knew

<<that the day of

<<[his wife's] immersion

<<it was,

<<and to teach us

<<the halacha

<<in practice

<<he

<<did [so].

Asked

<<of him

<<Rav Yosef son of Rav Nechunya

<<from Rav Yehuda:

<<two

<<who sleep

<<in a bed,

<<one [bed] —

<<what is [the law]

<<that this one

<<should turn

<<his face

<<and recite

<<the Shema,

<<and that one

<<should turn

<<his face

<<and recite

<<the Shema?

<<He said to him:

<<thus

<<Shmuel said:

<<and even [if]

<<his wife

<<is with him.

Challenged

<<it

<<Rav Yosef:

<<“His wife,”

<<and not

<<is it necessary [to say]

<<another?!

<<On the contrary,

<<his wife

<<is like his own body;

<<another

<<is not

<<like his own body.

They raised an objection:

<<two

<<who sleep

<<in a single bed:

<<this one

<<turns

<<his face

<<and recites,

<<and that one

<<turns

<<his face

<<and recites.

<<And it is taught in another [baraisa]:

<<one who sleeps

<<in a bed,

<<and his children

<<and the members of

<<his household

<<beside him,

<<this one

<<should not

<<recite

<<the Shema

<<unless

<<there was

<<a garment

<<separating

<<between them.

<<And if

<<were

<<his children

<<and the members of

<<his household

<<small,

<<it is permitted.

Granted,

<<according to Rav Yosef,

<<it is not difficult:

<<this,

<<his wife,

<<and this,

<<with another.

<<But

<<according to Shmuel

<<it is difficult?

Shmuel could say to you:

<<According to Rav Yosef,

<<is it

<<well?

<<But isn't it taught:

<<“If he was

<<sleeping

<<in a bed,

<<and his children

<<and the members of

<<his household

<<in the bed,

<<he should not

<<recite

<<the Shema

<<unless

<<there was

<<his garment

<<separating

<<between them.”

<<Rather,

<<what

<<is there

<<for you

<<to say?

<<His wife,

<<according to Rav Yosef,

<<is a dispute of Tannaim;

<<for me

<<too

<<it is a dispute of Tannaim.

Said

<<the Master:

<<“This one

<<turns

<<his face

<<and recites

<<the Shema.”

<<But surely

<<there are

<<the buttocks!

<<This supports

<<him,

<<Rav Huna,

<<for Rav Huna said:

<<buttocks

<<do not have

<<in them

<<[the category] of

<<nakedness.

<<Let us say

<<that supports

<<him,

<<Rav Huna:

<<“A woman

<<sits

<<and separates

<<for herself

<<her challah

<<naked,

<<because

<<she can

<<cover

<<her face

<<in the ground,

<<but

<<not

<<a man.”

Explained it

<<Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak:

<<for instance

<<where were

<<her face

<<pressed

<<into the ground.

Said

<<the Master:

<<“If

<<were

<<his children

<<and the members of

<<his household

<<small,

<<it is permitted.”

<<And until

<<how much?

<<Rav Chisda said:

<<a girl

<<of

<<three

<<years

<<and one day,

<<and a boy

<<of

<<nine

<<years

<<and one day.

<<Some say:

<<a girl

<<of

<<eleven

<<years

<<and one day,

<<and a boy

<<of

<<twelve

<<years

<<and one day.

<<Both this and that:

<<until

<<the point of

<<“breasts

<<were formed

<<and your hair

<<had grown.”

Rav Kahana said to Rav Ashi:

<<there

<<Rava said:

<<even though

<<it is a refutation

<<of Shmuel,

<<the halacha

<<is like

<<Shmuel.

<<Here,

<<what?

<<He said to him:

<<Is it so that

<<all of them

<<with one

<<weave

<<were woven?

<<Rather,

<<where

<<it was stated,

<<it was stated;

<<and where

<<it was not

<<stated,

<<it was not

<<stated.

Rav Mari said to Rav Pappa:

<<hair

<<protruding

<<from his garment,

<<what is [the law]?

<<He called out

<<about it:

<<“Hair,

<<hair!”

Rabbi Yitzchak said:

<<a handbreadth

<<in a woman

<<is nakedness.

<<For what?

<<If you say

<<to gaze

<<at it —

<<but didn't Rav Sheshes say:

<<why

<<did list

<<the verse

<<ornaments

<<that are outside

<<with

<<ornaments

<<that are inside?

<<To tell

<<you:

<<whoever

<<gazes

<<at the little finger

<<of

<<a woman

<<is as if

<<he gazes

<<at the place of

<<the private parts.

Rather,

<<with his wife

<<and for the Shema.

Rav Chisda said:

<<the leg

<<in a woman

<<is nakedness,

<<as it is stated:

<<“Uncover

<<the leg,

<<cross

<<rivers,”

<<and it is written:

<<“Will be uncovered

<<your nakedness,

<<and also

<<will be seen

<<your shame.”

<<Shmuel said:

<<the voice

<<in a woman

<<is nakedness,

<<as it is stated:

<<“For

<<your voice

<<is sweet

<<and your appearance

<<is comely.”

<<Rav Sheshes said:

<<hair

<<in a woman

<<is nakedness,

<<as it is stated:

<<“Your hair

<<is like a flock of

<<the goats.”

Rabbi Chanina said:

<<I

<<saw

<<Rebbi

<<that he hung

<<his tefillin.

<<They raised an objection:

<<“One who hangs

<<his tefillin —

<<will hang

<<for him

<<his life!”

The expounders of

<<weighty [verses]

<<said:

<<“And will be

<<your life

<<hanging

<<for you

<<in suspense” —

<<this is

<<one who hangs

<<his tefillin.

It is not difficult:

<<this,

<<by the strap;

<<this,

<<by the box.

And if you wish, say:

<<it makes no difference,

<<the strap,

<<and it makes no difference,

<<the box —

<<it is forbidden.

<<And when

<<hung [them]

<<Rebbi,

<<in a bag

<<he hung [them].

If so,

<<what is there

<<to say?

<<Lest you say:

<<it should require

<<placing

<<like a Torah scroll;

<<it teaches us.

And Rabbi Chanina said:

<<I

<<saw

<<Rebbi

<<that he belched

<<and yawned

<<and sneezed

<<and spat
