Take the 2-minute tour ×  The Gemara Shabbath (several pages,
but look anywhere from 59a through at least 62a for several
discussions) contains a great deal of discussion about wearing
"Tachshitim" (ornaments/jewelry) on Shabbath and whether or not
it is considered carrying outside.  I think I must have missed
something, though. About half the time that the Gemara concludes
that something is a Tachshit, it says it is therefore totally
fine for someone to wear outside on Shabbath, but the other half
of the time the Gemara concludes that something is a Tachshit,
it concludes that it is therefore forbidden for someone to wear
it outside on Shabbath.  Which is it? Is it permissible or
forbidden to wear a Tachshit on Shabbath?  This question is part
of the Daf Yomi Challenge.  share|improve this question  1
