This brings me the opportunity to ask a question: is there actually
inherent spiritual benefit for a woman to going to Shul? My
understanding is that its only beneficial in so far as it provides her
with an opportunity to focus more intensely during her Tefillo, but
that is entirely an internal benefit that could theoretically be had
EQUALLY if she managed to focus that intensely on her own, and that
this is totally different from the inherent spiritual benefit a man
experiences, by being an integral part of a minyan (the best) or at
least if he came later, part of the tzibbur (also good).
This is a view put together by listening to shiurim of Rav Ezriel
Tauber and Rebbetzin Neustadt (his daughter). I do not know if it is
mainstream, but would appreciate knowing more context.
Thanks in advance!
