As we know, men are commanded to
perform mitzvos asei she'haz'man grama, time-bound mitzvos. Women, on the other
hand, are not required to perform these mitzvos. What is the reason for this
difference? The answer is that women have other important obligations to tend
to, which exempt her from these commandments. A woman must know that she is a
briah shel chessed, she has been created for the purpose of performing chessed.
Being a wife and mother is a very significant role, and it requires her to be
selfless and totally dedicated to performing chessed! It takes a woman's entire
effort to succeed in being an efficient mother and wife. Investing her
abilities in raising children is very time consuming but is a tremendous zechus
for her! (Rabbi Avigdor Miller Speaks, pp. 271-3)
