[Avodah] women hearing the megillah

[Eli Turkel]

<<*Nobody* needs a minyan.  What is needed, at least by men, is "berov am",
and it stands to reason that that can include women.  Those who go to
women's readings may hold that women also need "berov am", or they may
go just for convenience.>>

I mis-used the word "minyan". What I meant to exclude was the opinion quoted
that women should hear Megilla "be-Tzibbur"
Thus, rephrasing the querstion is whether a women's megillah reading is
consider
"be-tzibbur" or are these groups holding like the Chelkas Yaakov

-------------

However the Piskei Tshuvos brings from Rav Menashe Klein that there
is an importance attached to women hearing Megila Bi Tzibbur.
Therefore unlike the Chelkas Yaakov he holds if there is a choice
between women coming to Shul and having children under Bar Mitzva
baby sit or vice versa, the women should come to shul and the
children can hear the megila later at home.
