One of the cornerstones of the religious Jewish experience in all
its variations is Torah study, and this learning is considered a
central criterion for leadership. Jewish Women's Torah Study
addresses the question of women's integration in the
halachic-religious system at this pivotal intersection. The
contemporary debate regarding women's Torah study first emerged in
the second half of the 19th century. As women's status in general
society changed, offering increased legal rights and opportunities
for education, a debate on the need to change women's participation
in Torah study emerged. Orthodoxy was faced with the question:
which parts, if any, of modernity should be integrated into
Halacha? Exemplifying the entire array of Orthodox responses to
modernity, this book is a valuable addition to the scholarship of
Judaism in the modern era and will be of interest to students and
scholars of Religion, Gender Studies and Jewish Studies.
