- Title
The Participation of Jewish Women in Public Rituals and Torah Study 1845--2010.
- Authors
Golinkin, David
- Abstract
Jewish women today play a much greater role in public Jewish ritual life and Torah study than they did 165 years ago. Women now participate freely and regularly in roles that were once reserved for men. Some scholars date these changes to the feminist revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, and there has indeed been an acceleration of such changes during the past forty years. However, to understand this topic, one must begin in 1845, not in the 1970s. In this article, I shall survey forty-one events relating to women's participation that have occurred since 1845 and then draw seven general conclusions from this timeline of events.
