Sometimes people have good intentions to change things like if a girl wants to wear Tefillin because she feels it enhances her prayer. She wonders what’s wrong with that? Sometimes, our yetzer hara makes us think we are doing something good, when it’s not right. What’s the problem with girls wearing tefillin? A person needs to have pure thoughts, can’t talk, can’t pass gas…. there are many rules. Obviously, men aren’t perfect when wearing it, but they have an obligation, and so the risk outweighs the cost. If you don’t have to but you do it, any mistake turns the mitzvah into an aveirah. It’s better for us women to just pray with a lot of kavanah. This will help us to come close to Hashem
