Are women obligated in Havdalah?
Synopsis
The Mechaber states women are obligated in Havdalah just as they are in kiddush, but records a dissenting view. The Rema rules that women should hear Havdalah from men rather than recite it themselves. The Magen Avraham (citing the Bach) disagrees with the Rema and permits women to recite Havdalah for themselves.
