[Avodah] women learning Torah

[Eli Turkel]

 <Please note I am not coming out here against women learning torah at all
b'zman hazeh , of course. It is now considered a thoroughly necessary sha'as
hadchak, in most people's opinion. I am merely responding to the poster's
questions. >>

RYBS and RAL consider women learning Torah bzman hazeh as a lechatchilah
not as a bideved.
MATAN in various cities in Israel does a wonderful job of teaching Torah to
women at ALL levels and have the haskaka of various rabbanim who also
teach there on a lechatchila basis.

I still remember when my wife was in college (eons ago) she took a class
on hilchot nidah from Tova Lichtenstein/Soloveitchik that included a
detailed discussion of shitot of rishonim with no hint that this was a
shaas hadchag

Chag Sameach
