Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

If it's a din in kriyas ha-Torah, so then according to the Magna Ravim, women would be chayiv.

In the Tshuvos Mishnah, he was asked whether women are chayiv in Shanaim Merkur.

He was asked our very shayla.

And he writes, Obviously they are potter.

According to many postgim, it relates to Limeratora.

Women are part of the Torah.

Let alone all those Rishonim that say that they're not allowed to learn Torah.

Even the Rambam who says that they shouldn't learn Torah and it's just that but it's not something that we encourage You're not supposed to do it I think what he's saying is not only a contemporary you know

discussion of whether women should or shouldn't be learning Torah, which he obviously, Menashe Klein, probably held not.

So I think in general, when it comes to these issues, you have to ask yourself, what did my bubby do?

So, I don't know, my grandmother didn't do Shanaim Mikvah HaTargum, as far as I know.

It's a wonderful thing to do, meaning the question was not whether a woman should do Shanaim Mikvah HaTargum, whether she would get a lot out of doing Shanaim Mikvah HaTargum.

Whether it would be a positive and beneficial thing, that for sure.

What would be better than going over the parasha each and every week and understanding the parasha?

That's fantastic.

Is she chayeves in Shanaim Mikra Vechetz Hargum?

For that she would have to be included in the original Takana, in which case probably she's not chayeves because women were in all likelihood not included in the original Takana.

Maybe there are posts that say they're chayeves, I haven't found any.

So that's the issue of women in Shanaim Mikra.

Okay, recently, I think Rav Shmuel Kamenetzky came out with a psalm that there's absolutely no mitzvah to get drunk on Purim, and that it's asr to get drunk on Purim, and it caused a lot of confusion, because people learned Masech HaChis Magillot of Zion and the Bays, and it sounds from there that there is a mitzvah to get drunk on Purim.
