6066 – Shofar So Good?
Question
Q. Are women who are careful to listen to the shofar on Rosh Hashana, make kiddush and eat before?
Answer
A. In principle women who have the tradition to listen on Rosh Hashana to the shofar have to do so every year. However Poskim are lenient regarding eating before when in need. (Chayei Adam 141: 6, see also Shaarei Halochos: Kovetz Halachot (11: 4, p.132).
