Do Women Recite Pesukei Dezimra?
There are questions as to whether women are required or even permitted to recite Pesukei Dezimra, given that it is considered by some to be a timebound commandment. The opinions either require women to recite it completely, prohibit its recitation among women, allow but not require its recitation, or allow its recitation but prohibit Barukh She'amar and Yishtabach from being recited.
Ashkenazi Judaism considers Pesukei Dezimra to be an obligation on the basis that it is not timebound, and it can be recited at any time of day.
Opinions in Sephardic Judaism are divided. Some opinions allow women to recite Pesukei Dezimra without its accompanying blessings.
