Rabbanit Boublil asked for the source for the custom for women
to refrain from work on Rosh Chodesh. See Rashi d"h rashei
chadashim and Tosfot d"h v'she'ein ba'hen bitul in Megillah 22b.
Rashi quotes Pirkei (Braita) d'Rebbe Eliezer 45 as the source.

BTW when Rashi mentions "mori ha'zaken", to whom is he referring ??
