Obligation of the Body

Obligation of the Body

A personal obligation incumbent on every person. By analogy: a bodily need.

("The commandment of Rabbi Yishmael (her name) is: You shall not kindle a fire in all your sabbaths - what does the Talmud say?... The sabbath is the duty of the body, and the duty of the body is carried out both in the land and outside the land" - Yivamot 6b)
