      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 Miriam & Alan Goldberg and Ruth Peyser Kestenbaum to mark the thirteenth yahrtzeit of their father, Irwin Peyser, Harav Yisroel Chaim ben R’ Dovid V’ Fraidah Raizel Peyser
