The Shu”t R. Akiva Eiger (1-
9) quotes the Besamim Rosh(89)
“Since
women didn’t participate in
the Machtzis Hashekel
(which went
for Karbonos Tzibbur) therefore women are Patur
(exempt) from Tefillas Musaf. (They
are Mechuyav (obligated) in
Shachris & Mincha because in those Tefillos we ask
for Rachamim)*1
Other Achronim *2 argue on R.A.E. and
say if this were true, then
men under 20
yrs., Kohanim & Levi’im according to those
who hold, are exempt from M.H. ,should
also be Patur from Tefillas Musaf.
The publisher of
the Besamim Rosh was R. Shaul Berlin son of
R. Zvi Hirsh Berlin zt"l.
R. Shaul Berlin was a
great Talmid Chacham but a Maskil.
He claimed to have found
this Ksav Yad of R. Yitzchock d’Molino who
compiled the Teshuvos from the Rosh.
It didn’t take long to discover that the Sefer was
a forgery and not from the Rosh as R.S.B. claimed.
There is a dispute if the whole
Sefer is a forgery or only part of it and some Teshuvos are from the Rosh.
