Responsa su Deuteronomio 5:27

לֵ֖ךְ אֱמֹ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם שׁ֥וּבוּ לָכֶ֖ם לְאָהֳלֵיכֶֽם׃

Vai a dire loro: ritorna alle tue tende.

Shut min haShamayim

They responded: "How pious are these generations!" (Yevamot 39b:15) "All that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice!" (Genesis 21:12) "Go and say to them, return to your tents and bless your God!" (Deuteronomy 5:27, Nehemiah 9:5) The proof is from Channukah candles and megillah reading. They explained to me that just as in these cases, since the women were involved in the original miracle they are obligated to perform the commandment and recite the blessing, so too with the Lulav, we find that the [entire] Jewish people have only one heart directed to their Father in heaven (Sukkah 45b.9). So too with the Shofar, we are taught that the Holy One said: bring me [verses of] kingship, that I may be your king, and [verses of] remembrance, that the memory of your ancestors come before Me favourably, and all of that, with a Shofar. (Rosh Hashanah 34b.7) Now, women also need to be remembered before Him favourably. Therefore, if they recite the blessings for these commandments, they have permission to do so.*This is also the opinion of Rabbeinu Tam, quoted in Tosafot on Rosh Hashanah 33a:5

Shut min haShamayim

They answered: "Now you stand here with me" (Deuteronomy 5:27) "And I shall give you the instructions and the laws that I have written to inform them" (Exodus 24:12) "Let no hand touch it, for stoned or shot" (Exodus 19:13) will be anyone who touches their words, "it is like touching the pupil of their own eye." (Zechariah 2:12) For in many places, the sages made their own laws stricter than those of the Torah. All this they responded to me.
