The Rav Name:

Kiddush at a communal meal.
When men and women are having a communal Shabbat meal in two adjoining rooms, should Kiddush be made separately for the women?
Answer: If the women are able to hear the Kiddush that is being made in the men’s room, and the man who makes Kiddush intends to enable them to fulfill their Halachic obligation to hear Kiddush, it is not necessary to make Kiddush separately for them.
