Pesachim 79: Women and the Passover Sacrifice

What level of obligation do women have regarding the korban Pesah?

Although the main discussion of this question takes place in the next chapter of Massekhet Pesahim, as we will see, the point is raised here in the context of bringing the Pesah sacrifice when the community is tameh, or ritually defiled.

Our daf discusses when half the tzibbur is pure and half impure and the difference (in women) between Pesach rishon and sheen.

Which leads us to examine women’s participation in the seder itself, in reclining, and even the halacha of saying korbonos which are a substitute for the sacrificial service.
