Are Women Exempt from Mitzvot?

March 25, 2026·1h 17m
Episode Description from the Publisher

I grew up in a non-egalitarian Jewish community where I was taught that women are exempt from many mitzvot and that's why egalitarian prayer is not an option. Is that true? Does egalitarian prayer simply ignore this part of halakhah or is there some way of addressing it?
