Subject: RE: Womens obligation to Tzitzit

A quick answer to Shalom Krischner:(V36:3)

Wearing Tzitzith is a positive commandment that only applies during
the day. Hence women are exempt from it.

If we use Rav Hirsch's categorization of which mitzvot women are
free from---"periodically occuring commandments whose purpose is to
symbolically affirm our moral resolve" then we easily see why women
are free from this Mitzvah
