6082 - More Near and Far Shofar
Question
Q. Dear Rabbi. Can a woman that has a few young children blow the shofar for them at home?
Answer
A. See question above. Since the blowing is not needed and likely not understood by the young children, it is better to avoid a woman blowing. However if a husband or another man is to be present for the seuda, he may blow as a part of the Chinuch of the capable children and a possible added mitzva for himself.
