Ask Around Your Shabbos Table

Ask around your Shabbos table:

Since tefilla is of enormous importance on Rosh Hashana, what can you suggest to the mothers who cannot go to shul on Rosh Hashana due to their need to tend for their young children?

Menucha’s Answer: A mother should ask someone to watch her children for a short time, and then pray at home. Rav Elya Lopian, ztz”l received a tradition from his Rabbanim that a mother who is praying at home on Rosh Hashana, due to the fact that she needs to attend to her little children, has a special gate that allows her tefilla to reach just as high as a man’s tefilla in shul.
