Making One Hundred Brachot Daily: Difference between revisions

# Some poskim say that women aren't obligated in making a hundred [[brachot]] daily since it's a time-bound positive obligation, <ref> Halichot Bayta 13:note 2 in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, Sh”t Teshuvot VeHanhagot 2:129, Sh”t Shevet HaKehati 3:63, Birkat Eitan (pg 62), Vezot HaBracha (pg 185, chapter 20), Sh”t Ateret Paz 1:1, Shevet HaLevi 5:23, and Sh”t Rivevot Efraim 3:47, 5:114 write that women are exempt and some base it on the Magen Avraham regarding Zecher Yetziat Mitzrayim in Shema who disagrees with the Shagat Aryeh. </ref> while others say that they are as obligated as men. <ref> Rav Elyashiv in Yashiv Moshe (pg 19) and Birkat Eitan (pg 61), [http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/703731/Rabbi_Hershel_Schachter/Women_at_Prayer Rav Hershel Schachter in a shiur on yutorah.org ("Women at Prayer" min 28)], Chacham Ovadyah in Halichot Olam (vol 1 pg 59), Halacha Brurah 46:8, and Yalkut Yosef (Otzar Dinim LeIsha 6:1 pg 75), and Halichot Bat Yisrael (end of chapter 14) write that women are obligated since it’s a obligation that applies the whole day and is renewed every day similar to the Shagat Aryeh regarding Zecher Yetziat Mitzrayim in Shema. Yalkut Yosef (Otzar Dinim LeIsha 6:1 pg 75) cites some who say that after the fact women can fulfill their obligation with praises of Hashem or by answering Amen to the brachot of others.
