it would appear that a woman should not light earlier on erev shavu’ot

in my last posting? It could very be that the natziv will not work
out with this rambam and the posekim who say women should light earlier,
for they may have other reasons for making arvit later, like temeemos
(see below on that). Nevertheless, I would offer the following solution –
she should to light with a bracha early for the kiyyum kavod yom tov, but
make a tenai (stipulation) that she is not accepting yom tov yet. That
would satisfy both requirements.</blockquote><br>
I may be on shaky ground here, but it seems to me that according to the
Netziv a women would not be able to light with such a stipulation. Would
it not be a bracha l'vatalah? After all, according to him, since
one cannot make early Yom Tov, it is similar to a woman lighting
before plag, is it not? <br><br>
