What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Asher Weiss’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

What is the halacha regarding noshim bitfila? Our generation is more machmir than we did in the past. The Magen Avraham in Shilchan Aruch writes that uh nashim didan our women, our daughters, our wives don't daven tefilat amidah, don't daven shmone esrei. And a person is yotzei when he says modeh ani in the morning or any other short brief tefila. And the Magen Avraham writes maybe even chachamim were mechayev to read tefilot a day and not daven nusach tefila. But uh since b'tzi an kevi'ut became the norm and baruch Hashem in this aspect I think achshav dorei and most of our daughters going to seminary and most young ladies uh daven two times a day. The minhag is to be meikel with tefilat shacharit because tefilat shacharit is shas. Some noshim tzidkaniyot daven three times a day.
