("Rav Achai said: He who delays his menses - passes over a period of time (and reads 20) shall not be abominable" - Makhot 16b, and so: "You have known well about the tefillin that they are strictly sanctified and that a clean body is to be washed by the sick among them, and so everyone who is unable to delay his menses except in a state of mourning is exempt from tefillin" - Beit HaBahira LeMeiri Maschet Chulin Ki A.A., and so on: "And what will you do, O joy, that your breasts will remain? The Yiddish tzaddik said to him. The mountains of the end, with the blows of a grave, decreed that all who hold their breasts will pass over 'but you shall not abhor them'" - H. Be'er/ To the place where the spirit goes, 272)
