May a woman recite a beracha on a mitzvas aseh shehazman gromo?
As a rule, women are exempt from time-bound
mitzvos
-
mitzvos aseh shezman gromo
. Nevertheless, women have voluntarily accepted upon themselves many of these
mitzvos
. There is a
machlokes
as to whether women can recite a
beracha
when performing these
mitzvos
. According to the Mechaber, they may not recite the
beracha
because they cannot say
v'tzivanu
(He commanded us). The Rama, however, permits them to recite the
beracha
, holding that since there is such a
mitzva
(even though only men are obligated in it), women who participate earn reward. (A
goy
is not permitted to recite
v'tzivanu
even though he earns reward for performing a
mitzva
not required of him.)
