Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

Because a person could say, well, I learned Torah Yom HaValeh.

There's one Mishra in Pirkei Avos I've been working on my whole life,

And I just sit and learn that Yom V'Laylo.

That person will never be a Talmud Chacham.

So we need to have some sort of program that you learn.

So part of that program is to finish the entire Torah every year.

But it's a din in Talmud Torah.

Now L'chora, if it's a din in Kriya Satorah, so what's the halach of a woman in Kriya Satorah?

Shulchan Aruch and Resh Pei Beisiv Gimel writes, HaKol Olam L'minyin Shiva Afilu Isha.

That everyone counts toward the number of seven aliyahs that you need for Shabbos.

Even in Isha, it's not the yeshivish thing to do, but technically speaking, even in Isha, it counts toward the shiva kruim.

It says in Magan Avram, in Sivkat N'Vav, that a woman is chayiv in Kriya Satorah, to hear Kriya Satorah.

Even though Kriyas HaTorah is itself a din in Talmud Torah, and women are certainly part from Talmud Torah, that it's just like the Mitzvah of HaKel, that women are also included.

So Kriyas HaTorah is the same.

But it could be that they're not Chayavos, and they're nevertheless Olu L'minyin.

But the Magan Avram says, the Pasha reading of the Shulchan,

is that women are chayiv in kriyas ha-Torah.

He says, Menegiz, women leave for kriyas ha-Torah.

Not sure why, but he says that's what the menegiz, but the simple reason is that women are chayiv in kriyas ha-Torah.

Now, if it's a din in Talmud Torah, for sure women are potter.
