In Devarim,30:3 the Torah tells us that one should keep his word and not desecrate his vows. The Shach brings a remez from the words “lo yachel devaro kechol” that teaches us that on Erev Rosh Hashana one should do hataras nedarim since the last letter of each word spells out “Elul.”
Do women have an obligation to do hataras nedarim or not? If not, why would women be exempt since they have the mitzvah of keeping their word the same way a man does?

Reuven buys a new suit but will not wear it until he has it checked for shatnez. When does he make the bracha of Shehecheyanu; when he purchases the suit, or when the begged becomes wearable after it is checked for shatnez?

Succos is one of the Shalosh Regalim. The mitzva of Aliya L’regel to the Bais Hamikdash applied to all three Regalim. One may try to understand what the mitzva of traveling up to the Bais Hamikdash is all about. Is this mitzva a way of getting to the Bais Hamikdash to be close to Hashem, or is there an actual mitzva of traveling up to the Bais Hamikdash?
