Niddah Going to Shul

Is a woman in nidah allowed to go daven at Shul?

Answer:

Yes, a woman is permitted to go to shul even during her niddah period.

However, it is the common custom for a woman not to look at the letters of a sefer torah (during hagbahah) during her niddah period. This refers only to the time when she is experiencing actual bleeding, and not after the bleeding has stopped.
