NEW YORK (VINnews) — A historic Siyum Hashas for women took place in Jerusalem Sunday, with over 3300 women joining together for the first time to celebrate the completion of Shas in the Daf Yomi cycle. The event was initiated and organized by the Hadran organization which uses podcasts and online materials to make the daf accessible to women worldwide.

Rebbetzin Michelle Farber Cohen, who completed the Daf Yomi cycle with her own group of women, said at the gathering that “in our world where women are progressing academically and setting achievements in all walks of life, it is important that in studying Torah and Jewish texts they should understand the depth of intellectual study which is the core component of our religion. I was moved to see the thousands of women who arrived this evening from all over the country to participate in the Siyum Hashas event.”
Farber added that “from my point of view this Siyum is the starting point for the 14th cycle which will commence this week, since the Hadran organization was established to ensure that at the next Siyum in another seven and a half years, thousands more women will arrive since Talmud study will be more natural and more accessible for them.”
Feh.
She’s no Rebbetzin, she’s miss guided at best.
Curious, was there any backlash in the chareidi oilam about this event?
Seems it was all quiet.
Just curious, not trying to be pro or con on this.
Oh no. So now the husbands are going to have to go out to work in order to support their wive’s who are learning.
These modern ladies should be diapering babies.
Instead they are sticking their noses
Into men’s department.
at first they WERE diapering babies but they realized that they needed to turn to the gemara to teach them the proper torah way of how to diaper a baby and once they did that one thing led to another and they continued through the entire shas
