Description

Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik taught that when important events happen, look at the parsha and allow it to speak to you in a contemporary context. This week, one need not look very far or wide to see just how true this is. So it’s quite timely that in a period of structural societal change taking place across the globe, Israel’s Attorney General issued a groundbreaking decision last week that will fundamentally transform Jewish life for the better – and in particular, the landscape of women’s Torah leadership. Women Torah scholars will now be able to obtain the very same level of government-approved accreditation for their Torah knowledge as men do. This decision establishes women will have access to their rightful inheritance in Torah.
