Q. Does the mitzvah of V?kidashto (honoring a Kohen) apply only to
male Kohanim, or does it also apply to daughters of Kohanim or the
wives of Kohanim?
A. It is clear from all the sources that the mitzvah of V?kidashto
applies only to male Kohanim (Sefer Kedushas HaKohanim K?Hilchaso
2:1). The Torah states that one should sanctify the Kohen since he
offers the Korbanos (sacrifices) in the Beis Hamikdash. This
description applies only to men and not to women. Although the
daughters of Kohanim are entitled to eat Teruma and may eat from
certain Korbanos that are designated only for Kohanim, they are not
eligible to serve in the Beis Hamikdash.
