#This mitzvah to eat on [[Erev Yom Kippur]] applies to women also. <ref>Minchat Chinuch 313:9, Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg. 74), Sh"t Yabia Omer 1:37, Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 231, Maamer Mordechai (Rav Mordechai Eliyahu, English version pg 447, #15). Rabbi Akiva Eiger 16 raises a doubt whether women should be obligated because it could be that is a mitzvat aseh shehazman grama. The other possibility that he raises is that maybe it's connected to the mitzvah to fast which women are also obligated in. The Rashash (Sukkah 28a) writes according to the Rosh's reason that there is a mitzvah to eat on Erev Yom Kippur in order to make fasting the next day easier, clearly it should also apply to women. Additionally, Rav Ovadia Yosef (Yechave Daat 1:58) agrees and also cites the Sfat Emet's explanation that after a person eats he is in a better mood and it is easier to grant forgiveness and mend relationships; accordingly, it would seem that women also have the mitzvah to eat on Erev Yom Kippur.</ref> | #This mitzvah to eat on [[Erev Yom Kippur]] applies to women also. <ref>Minchat Chinuch 313:9, Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg. 74), Sh"t Yabia Omer 1:37, Chazon Ovadia Yamim Noraim pg. 231, Maamer Mordechai (Rav Mordechai Eliyahu, English version pg 447, #15).
