This article offers a reading of "Tefillin" as a staged performance of a theatrical piece. It reveals that staging sexuality is Wallach's political, feminist strategy, one that produces and overcomes the reader's resistance to the poem. On this stage, "Tefillin" unbinds a new poetic space, one that potentially transforms the Hebrew cultural and literary scene.
