**Perek י״ט (ב): Amulets, Tefillin, and Tzitzit** What if you find Tefillin or a Torah scroll in the street on Shabbat? This section covers what you can wear out for protection or comfort, from…
Yotze te'isha be'evin tekuma v'mishkal e'evin tekuma shenitkaven u'shkaloli refuah.
A woman can go out with a tekuma stone or with the weight of a tekuma stone as long as it was weighed and it was carried with the intent that it was for refuah.
Essentially, a tekuma stone was the type of stone that women used to wear which would supposedly prevent a miscarriage.
Not only can a pregnant woman do this, even someone who is not pregnant can carry this stone in order that she shouldn't become pregnant and then have a miscarriage.
But you can go out with an amulet that has provided that it's efficient.
It's an expert.
What does that mean? It's an amulet that has cured three individual people or was prepared by an individual person who cured three people with other amulets.
If a person goes out with an amulet that hasn't yet proven its expertise, it hasn't proved that it's efficient, they would be exempt.
They wouldn't be liable.
Because they've carried it in the way of clothing.
וכן היוצא בתפילין פתור similarly someone who goes out wearing tefillin is not liable מי שיש ברגלו מקה יוצא בסנדל יחידי ברגלו הבריאה someone who's got a wound on their foot some sort of wound can go out with one sandal on their healthy foot ואם אין ברגלו מקה לא יצא בסנדל יחיד if the person doesn't have a wound they shouldn't go out with just one sandal ולא יצא קטן במהל גדול אבל יוצא הוא בחלוק גדול A child shouldn't go out wearing the sandals that belong to an adult, but they can wear a cloak of an adult.
Someone who's got a chopped off leg, a one-legged man, cannot go out wearing a wooden leg We don't go out wearing wooden shoes because it's not the regular practice to wear them.
But if someone were to go out, they'd be exempt.
A person can go out wearing tufts of flax or a woolen wig that was worn by men who had certain types of sores on their head.
When? At a time when they were colored with oil and then wound around them.
Or the person went out wearing them at least for one tiny moment before Shabbat had come in.
If the person didn't do something with them, meaning didn't show that he wanted to use these things, or didn't go out wearing them for Shabbat, he cannot go out wearing them.
A person can go out wearing a sackcloth or a tentcloth or a thick wool blanket or a coarse wrap as protection against rain.
People might recognize this.
We can't go out wearing a chest, a container or a mat as protection against the rain.
If a pillow and blanket are soft and thin like clothes, you can go out wearing them wrapped on a person's head on Shabbat.
But if they're tough, if they're fam, then they're considered to be like a weight, like something they're carrying, and they are asur, they're forbidden.
We can go out with bells that are woven into our clothes.
A servant can go out wearing a clay seal around their neck, but not with a metal seal, because we don't want it to fall and they'll pick it up and be carrying.
