Reciting 'Vayechulu' with a Woman and a Child
Question
If someone did not pray with a minyan on Friday night and wants to say 'Vayechulu' with someone else, and there is only a woman or a child, which one is preferable?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
It is not possible to say it with them, because a woman and a child are not valid for testimony.
