Can a woman fulfill a man's obligation in the blessing of Shehecheyanu?
Question
Can a woman fulfill the obligation of her husband and family with the blessing of Shehecheyanu on the second day, having in mind a new fruit, and if so, should she not recite the blessing at candle lighting? Or, in any case, is Kiddush close enough to candle lighting?
Thank you in advance
Thank you in advance
Answer
Hello and blessings
It is preferable for the men to recite the blessing themselves, and not fulfill their obligation through a woman.
