Hello Rabbi, How well must I know about Sefirot? I am a woman. Additionally, must I study Torah and read Shulchan Aruch? Best

ב"ה Shalom, The "sefirot" are a very important component of the esoteric part of the Torah. Even the most experienced learners of Torah who have been engrossed in torah study for many rears do not always reach the study of this part of the Torah. Therefore, at this point in Torah study, this is not something you have to pursue. In regard to the study of Torah, a woman does not have the same obligation as a man. A man must engross himself in Torah study as much as possible, and must learn Torah for the sake of learning torah. While a woman on the other hand, although she DOES have the obligation to know the laws of the Torah which pertain to her, such as Shabbat, eating kosher, the holidays etc., she is not required to study torah for the sake of study. Therefore, there are definitely parts of the Shulchan Aruch or books which expound different sections of the Shulchan Aruch, which you should be familiar with. And then again, although you are not required as a woman to immerse yourself in Torah study, personally I think it is an issue of national pride of being Jewish , to become knowledgeable fluent and proud of your heritage All the best
