It is customary for Jewish women to fulfill the mitzva of <em>shofar<\/em>. If a man who already heard the <em>shofar<\/em> blows for women, he does not recite a <em>berakha<\/em> on their behalf. If a woman who follows Ashkenazic custom is present, she recites the <em>berakha<\/em> before the blowing, and if there are other women in attendance, they listen to her and respond \u201camen.\u201d However, if all the women present follow Sephardic custom, they fulfill the mitzva without a <em>berakha<\/em> (SA 589:6; above, 2:8).<\/p>\n<p>As we have learned (above, 2:9), the <em>poskim<\/em> disagree about whether women must pray <em>Musaf<\/em>. Some say that since <em>Musaf<\/em> contains a request for mercy, it is like other obligatory prayers, which, according to Ramban and most <em>poskim<\/em>, women must recite. Furthermore, since <em>Musaf <\/em>was instituted to honor the sanctity of the day, women must recite it just as they must recite <em>kiddush<\/em> (<em>Magen Giborim<\/em>). Others maintain that since <em>Musaf<\/em> is time-dependent, women are exempt from its recitation (<em>Tzela\u0125<\/em>). In practice, since it is a rabbinic commandment, halakhic practice follows the lenient opinion and women are not obligated to pray <em>Musaf<\/em>, although they may do so and are rewarded for it. On Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, it is proper that all women pray <em>Musaf<\/em> because the primary request for mercy on the Days of Awe is in <em>Musaf<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Women fulfill <em>Hatarat Nedarim<\/em> (the annulment of vows) with the recitation of <em>Kol Nidrei <\/em>on the eve of Yom Kippur. Therefore, women should make sure to arrive at the synagogue in time for <em>Kol Nidrei<\/em>. A married woman may appoint her husband as an agent and ask him to annul her vows when he annuls his own. However, an unmarried woman may not appoint another man or woman to annul vows on her behalf (SA 239:56; <em>Taz <\/em>46; <em>Rav Pe\u2019alim <\/em>O\u0124 4:34:5),<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women are exempt from the mitzva of shofar since it is a positive time-bound mitzva, though women who wish to fulfill it earn reward.
