      I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your panel discussion. it truly was a breath of fresh air.Fyi it is not 100% accurate to say that the opposition to women learn Gemara is based on right wing left wing alliances. The Rebbe Rashab back at the turn of the 20th century said that there is no difference in learning between men and women and the Lubavitcher Rebbe stated that men and women are equally obligated to learn Torah and in two sichos in 1990, he came out that women must learn Gemara .Kol Tuv and your work should continue. Btw Sara Schneirer learned Chok Yisrael which includes Mishna and Gemara and she was from a Belzer family. .

    Learning on the Marcos and Adina Katz YUTorah site is sponsored today by Francine Lashinsky and Dr. Alexander & Meryl Weingarten in memory of Rose Lashinsky, Raizel bat Zimel, z"l on the occasion of her yahrzeit on Nissan 14, and in honor of their children, Mark, Michael, Julie, Marnie and Michelle, and in honor of Agam bat Meirav Berger and all of the other hostages and all of the chayalim and by the Goldberg and Mernick Families in loving memory of the yahrzeit of Illean K. Goldberg, Chaya Miriam bas Chanoch
