Although Hakhel in its original form can only be fulfilled in the Holy Temple, nevertheless, the spiritual role of Hakhel applies now also even more strongly. The women assume the major mission, to effect the spiritual theme of Hakhel in their own private Holy Temple. For in her house each woman is the foundation of the home and she makes that home a holy Sanctuary. Then, her husband and children will listen and observe all the words of the Torah. (The Rebbe, 22 Elul, 1987) To learn more visit hakhelnation.com
