Are Women Required To Hear Parshat Zachor

Are Women Required To Hear Parshat Zachor
Day: Wednesday
Date: February 26, 2014
Parshat: Pekudei, Shekalim
Source: Yalkut Yosef: 685


There are some Poskim who maintain that women are required to hear Parshat Zachor and some who maintain that women are not required to hear it. If she needs a woman can rely on the Poskim who maintain that women are not required to hear Parshat Zachor. However, a women who goes to the synagogue to hear it will be blessed. One who is not able to go to shul for Parshat Zachor should have in mind to fulfill his obligation to remember amalek when Parshat Ki Tetzeh is read. He should also tell the hazan in that case to have in mind that he is fulfilling his Torah obligation to remember amalek.
