Are women obligated in zimun, and do they fulfill their obligation by hearing the men's zimun?
Synopsis
Whether women's zimun among themselves is optional or obligatory is disputed by the Rishonim. When women eat with men, they are obligated to respond to the men's zimun and fulfill their obligation by listening, even if they do not understand the Hebrew.
