Rema says one should bow during Hagbah. Shiltei Giborim (Kiddushin 31)writes not to because one should not bow to anything.  This seems to be the same aversion as the Vilna Gaons to bowing in Kaddish.

The Rav said women should not prostrate themselves during the Yom Kippur bowing, because the women in the Beis Hamikdash didn’t bow either.  Teshuvot Beis Avi also discusses this issue (although not from a brisker point of view)

I find it hard to belive that a “scholar” would make such a mistake women were not in the bais Hamikdash on Yom Kippur. RABBI Haber thanks for clearong the confusion until elisha came along

MTJer,
How do you know women werent present in the beit hamikdash on yom kippur? Also perhaps they bowed when they heard the sheim even if they werent there, the talmud teaches us that the high priests voice was heard even in jerico when he cried out anah hasheim?

ignorant
you are just that. MTJer was saying that it is possible they bowed he was just arguing on the point that they were in the bais hamikdash. either way Rabbi Haber i was wondering if you can tell me how to do it right by vaychulu do you bow by that baruch ata
