느헤미야 9:5의 Responsa
וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ הַלְוִיִּ֡ם יֵשׁ֣וּעַ וְ֠קַדְמִיאֵל בָּנִ֨י חֲשַׁבְנְיָ֜ה שֵׁרֵֽבְיָ֤ה הֽוֹדִיָּה֙ שְׁבַנְיָ֣ה פְתַֽחְיָ֔ה ק֗וּמוּ בָּרֲכוּ֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם מִן־הָעוֹלָ֖ם עַד־הָעוֹלָ֑ם וִיבָֽרְכוּ֙ שֵׁ֣ם כְּבוֹדֶ֔ךָ וּמְרוֹמַ֥ם עַל־כָּל־בְּרָכָ֖ה וּתְהִלָּֽה׃
또 레위 사람 예수아와 갓미엘과 바니와 하삽느야와 세레뱌와 호다야와 스바냐와 브다히야는 이르기를 너희 무리는 마땅히 일어나 영원부터 영원까지 계신 너희 하나님 여호와를 송축할지어다 주여 주의 영화로운 이름을 송축하올 것은 주의 이름이 존귀하여 모든 송축이나 찬양에서 뛰어남이니이다
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
