There are two time-bound positive mitzvot <\/em>performed on Sukkot, the mitzva to sit in the sukka<\/em> and the mitzva to take the lulav<\/em>, and women are exempt from both. If they wish to perform them, they earn reward. According to Ashkenazic custom, they recite a berakha <\/em>on the performance of these mitzvot<\/em>, and according to Sephardic custom no blessing is recited on sitting in the sukka<\/em>, though with regard to lulav<\/em>, some recite a berakha <\/em>and some do not. Every woman should continue following her custom. 1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

It is a mitzva to rejoice on this festival through nice clothing and nice jewelry as well as through meat, wine, and other delicacies that bring joy (SA 529:2; Peninei Halakha: Mo\u2019adim<\/em> 1:10). It is a mitzva on \u0124ol Ha-mo\u2019ed<\/em> as well to be happy, dress nicely, and eat good food (MT, Laws of Yom Tov 6:17 and 22; MB 530:1; Peninei Halakha: Mo\u2019adim<\/em> 10:3).<\/p>\n

  1. According to \u0124ida and Zekhor Le-Avraham (as cited in Kaf Ha-\u0125ayim 17:4 and 589:23), women recite a berakha when taking the lulav. This is also the position of Rav Pe\u2019alim (vol. 1, Sod Yesharim 12) and R. Messas (Shemesh U-magen 2:72:3) regarding lulav, and this was the practice in the family of R. Ovadia Hadaya. In contrast, according to SA, they do not recite a blessing. Ye\u0125aveh Da\u2019at 1:68 and Yabi\u2019a Omer 1:38-42 and 5:43 strongly support the custom of SA not to recite a berakha and mention that some Ashkenazic poskim, including \u0124akham Tzvi and Divrei \u0124ayim, ruled against reciting this berakha. See above, 2:8, and n. 9 and Peninei Halakha: Sukkot 5:6. ↩<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
