- Educating one’s Daughters:[1]
The obligation upon a father to educate his children in the fulfillment of mitzvah’s applies even towards his daughter’s. [In this regard, it is different than the obligation of Torah study by which we rule that although a father is obligated to teach his son Torah, a father is not obligated to teach his daughter Torah. However, with regards to the obligation to educate one’s child in the fulfillment of mitzvah’s, it applies whether the child is a boy or girl.]
[1] Admur 343:2; Implied conclusion of M”A 343:1 [however see Machatzis Hashekel]; Toras Kohanim Emor; Tosafus Yesheinim Yuma 82; Rebbe Yochanon in Nazir 29 according to Rav Avraham Min Hahar; Shivas Tziyon 61, brought in Pischeiy Teshuvah Y.D. 396:2; Machatzis Hashekel 343:1; Aruch Laner Sukkah 2b; Birkeiy Yosef O.C. 343:7; P”M Pesicha Koleles 343; Chayeh Adam 66:2; M”B 343:2; See Encyclopedia Talmudit ibid p. 164 footnotes 39-445
Other opinions: Some Poskim rule a father is not obligated to educate his daughter in Mitzvos. [M”A 343:1 that so is implication of Reish Kakish in Nazir 29a; Machatzis Hashekel explains the M”A ibid leaves this matter in question; Shita Mekubetzes Nazir ibid in name of Tosafus and Rosh; Chidushei Rabbeinu Peretz Nazir ibid; Ramban in Milchamos Yuma 82b; Ran ibid; ]
