Question
Hello, My wife suffers from depression and anxiety to the extent that it is very difficult for her to leave the house. What should be done about the shofar blowing?
Answer
Hello
Women are not obligated to hear the shofar blowing, but it is customary for them to be stringent and listen.
Therefore, in cases of physical or mental difficulty, they certainly do not need to go out.
