Shapiro Katz, Emily
"The Year in Israel: Expanding Horizons or Narrowing Scope?," Shapiro Katz, Emily. JOFA 6th International Conference. 2007.
Synopsis: The post-high school Israel experience has become a normative rite-of-passage for American Modern Orthodox teens. The proliferation of midrashot, where young women learn Torah, often from women, are frequently cited as evidence of the success of Orthodox feminism. But are these institutions really advancing the cause or does their more fundamental commitment to keeping girls ?on the derech? make them centers of anti-feminism? Emphasizing the perspectives of women educators in midrashot, this session will use anecdotal research to shed light on these concerns.
