[Avodah] Does the mitzvah of V?kidashto (honoring a Kohen) also apply to daughters of Kohanim or the wives of Kohanim?

[Prof. Levine]

 From today's OU Kosher Halacha Yomis


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.
