Reply To: Women’s mitzvot….or not?

tzippi, I posed the question,knowin soem answers. It really has application only if there are NO male descendants to say the kaddish. I am not sure what you mean by being “yoitzei”. Kaddish is said for the benefit of the soul of the “niftar”. so I am not sure what you mean by “yoitzei”.

It would make no difference if it is a woman. If she can go to shul morning and evening, “tavo aleha brocho”. If she cannot, it is no different than a son who is unable (at times) to be in shul.

And, to your last remark, the question arises, why should you have a stranger (even if it is a good friend) say kaddish if you can have a blood relative say it.
