Description

Agudah the political party: a problem. Tzohar's ketubah is good. Satmar on not teaching Torah to women. Bavli Sotah 19. Rama Talmud Torah 246. Longer life expectancy requires women to study Torah. Rambam permits women to learn the Written Torah, not Oral. Chafetz Chaim is in favor. Rav Soloveitchik—"Ladies first." Satmar Rav: Don't teach women non-Biblical Hebrew. No Rashi. Why Raban Gamliel posted a guard at the school entrance. "Hakanai" by Menachem Keren-Kratz. Satmar Rav compromised on many things, but not Israel. Some differences between Satmar schools for girls and Bais Yaakov. Women knew Kodshim and Taharot during the reign of King Hezekiah. Tzenah Urenah is not proof. Satmar hostility toward the Public Library. Hak'hel is no proof.
