We find the Mitzvah of
Tefillin in this Parsha. In 13:16,
the Pasuk says, (יָדְכָה) with a (כָה),
instead of with an (ךָ) (Ende Chaf). The Gemara in Maseches
Menachois actually teaches two D’rashois that we wear Tefillin on the left arm.
One D’rasha is Yodchoh = Yad Kaiha (the weaker arm). The second D’rasha is Uk’shartem
/ Uch’saftem, that the same hand that a person uses to write, he should do the
Keshirah (wrapping) of the Tefillin. A lefty has both these D’rashois inverted.
There is a major difference between the two D’rashois. There are many people
who write with one hand and have strength in the other hand. Skill and strength
come from different parts of the brain, so this makes sense. These people fall
in the crack of these two D’rashois. If you go with the D’rasha of Yad Kaiha,
we go according to strength. If you go according to the D’rasha of Uk’shartem /
Uch’saftem, then it depends on the hand with which you use to write. It is a
Machloikes Tanoiyim in the Gemara which D’rasha is the Ikur.
The Rama and Gra argue on the
Halacha L’maiseh. Rav Pam used to Pasken that since this is a Machloikes
Hashakul, you go with the Kabalah which is that everyone should put Tefillin on
the left arm. This is why in Chasiddishe towns, if there is a child who looks
like he will be a lefty, they tie his left hand, to force him to become a
righty. Someone who is an adult should be Machmir, he should wear the Tefillin
on his left arm, and before taking them off for the day, he should slide them
from his left arm to his right arm, if it is the same pair of Tefillin, be
careful that the Yud is towards the body. You wear it just for a moment to be
Yoitzeh all the Shittos.
There is another Z’hirus in
Tefillin that Rebbi mentioned. Really a person should wear Tefillin for 4
K’daishim and 3 K’dushois. The 3 K’dushois are 1) Kodoish in Birchas K’riyas
Shema, 2) Kedusha by Chazoras Hashatz, and 3) Kodoish by Uva L’tziyoin. A
person who comes late to Davening and misses either the Kadish before Hoidu if
he daven Nusach Sefard or the Kadish before Mizmor shiur and Baruch Sheomar if
he davens Nusach Ashkenaz, should really not take off his Tefillin before
hearing 4 K’daishim. It is not a chiyuv, however, it is the Middah Hanichoina
(the correct way to behave for someone who wears Tefillin). In addition, there
is a Chiyuv to answer 90 Amens every day. If you want to get this, it is ideal
to come for B’rachois by Shacharis, and that will have the added benefit that
you will be coming on time to Davening.
