How to Properly Care for and Show Respect to Tefillin and a Sefer Torah
Eliezer GewirtzmanHostIt says in this week's Pascha, it says that your life will be like in the balance.
If you hang the tefillin with the ritzuas hanging down, okay, that's okay.
If that's what it is, I would have thought that it's not good enough because by a Sefer Torah it actually has to be placed down, that by tefillin you can hang it and even though the hanging is in a place where, even though the hanging is in a place where it's not mamish, even though it's not mamish hanging down, but as long as it's in a bag, fulfilling it's good enough for Sefer Torah, it is not.
If you look in the Beis Yosef, he says, because the Rambam, the Riff, and the Rosh, pass in the Chumrah like the second day, and therefore Taka, the Henge, Tfilin, that's also, but once it's in a bag, then Erechanami, it would be Mut.
If it happens to be that you're holding your Tfilin temporarily, and it ends up being that the Ritzuris are hanging down, says the Mishnebura, if that's the case, Ein L'chak.
but if the tefillin itself is hanging meaning the mishtabur is saying that although we pass it like the second lawsuit that the difference whether you're allowed to hang it or not is in is in the kiss, and Rebbe hung it in the kiss, there is, even according to us, there's still a difference between hanging it by the Ritzus and hanging it by the Batim.
Hanging it, where you're holding it by the Batim, and the Ritzus are hanging down, temporarily, that's good enough.
To hold it by the Ritzus and let the Batim hang down, that is also, no matter what, even temporarily.
