Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

It was Din D'Rabbanan that Moshe Rabbeinu himself was Misakin.

Now the question, several questions one could ask, you know, fundamentally, why three times?

Why two times Mikra, one time Targum?

The Tzlach writes, it's in order that one should remember.

It's not enough to learn the Torah, a person has to remember the Torah.

... ...

The question is why?

What is the purpose of Shanaim Mechah Ve'echa Targum?

What's it meant to accomplish?

And then we can try to figure out, and are women included in that which it is meant to accomplish?

So in the Divrei Hamudos, on the bottom of the Rosh, in Masechas Brachos over there, in Osmeh Malif, he writes that, that just like in Kriyas HaTorah in Shul, you have the Balkorah and the Ola and the Mechargim,

You have the three people that are involved in Kriyas HaTorah, and this is meant to be a reflection of Kriyas HaTorah.

So in some way, it's a pre-enactment of Kriyas HaTorah.

What does that mean exactly?

So the Beis Yosef writes that he believes, according to the Ravon, if you lived in a community that didn't have a minyan,

So you weren't going to get a Kriya Satora.

So absent a Kriya Satora, the next best thing is that you'll do Shanaim Mikra Ve'echa Targum.

You'll do a substitute for a Kriya Satora.

So that's very, very much connected to Kriya Satora.

And you would imagine whoever is included in Kriya Satora would be included in that as well.
