Ask the Rabbi
- Torah and Jewish Thought
- Observing Mitzvot & Repentence
- Women's Mitzva Observance
Question
I have heard that the reason why women are not obligated in timed bound mitzvot is because they do not need these constant acts to keep them from stumbling, etc. I would like to know the actual source(s) if possible?
Answer
The Maharal is of that opinion, see his drasha on Matan Torah.
