# There's a dispute whether women are obligated in Havdalah. Nonetheless, women may make the it for themselves. <ref> Rambam (Hilchot [[Shabbat]] 29:1) writes that the Havdalah is a positive command just like [[Kiddish]]. [[Maggid]] Mishna (Hilchot [[Shabbat]] 29:1) implies from the Rambam that women are obligated in Havdalah jus tlike they are obligated in [[Kiddish]]. [[Maggid]] Mishna suggests that even according to those who argue on the Rambam, women can be obligated if the rabbis instituted Havdalah to be just like [[Kiddish]]. Orchot Chaim (Hilchot Havdalah 18; quoted by Bet Yosef 296:8) writes that because there's a dispute whether women are obligated women shouldn't make Havdalah for themselves. Nonetheless, S"A 296:8 rules as Stam (anonymous opinion) that women are obligated in Havdalah. Bach | # There's a dispute whether women are obligated in Havdalah.

Nonetheless, S"A 296:8 rules as Stam (anonymous opinion) that women are obligated in Havdalah. </ref> Some Ashkenazim hold that women should not recite [[Havadalah]] for themselves, while many others say that if a woman can not find someone to hear Havdalah from, she should recite Havdalah for herself.<ref>The Rama 296:8 states that women shouldn't recite Havdalah for themselves. The Bach argues that for Ashkenazim there is an additional reason to permit women to make the bracha considering that Ashkenazim allow one to make a bracha even for Mitzvot that one is not obligated in such as [[lulav]]. The Magan Avraham 296:11 and Mishna Brurah 296:35 hold like the Magen Avraham. Mishna Brurah concludes that a woman should not recite Havdalah for herself unless she can't find someone to hear Havdalah from. See www.bknw.org/pafiledb/pafiledb.php?action=download&id=42.
