Creating Halakhic Partnerships
Mar. 3rd, 2008 02:28 pmLast night I went to a program jointly sponsored by HBI (the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute*) and JOFA (the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance) about what is called (academically, at least) partnership minyanim, which are minyanim that encourage women's participation, like Minyan Tehillah.
( It was interesting. )
The event was recorded, so there's a decent chance there will be links up at one of the sites in the next month or so; this is the merest summary, without notes, and the speakers were rather more interesting than this.)
* For the Brandeisians: it's in the Epstein building, now rather redesigned (with buildings and grounds on the lower level). My previous mental association with this building was that on one side of it there was a lechi made of many, many, many layers of thick paint, enough so that it had volume; the weirdest lechi of the original Brandeis eruv.
