Reply To: Why Can't Women Get Modern Smicha and Become Rabbis?

PAA: The vast majority of mainstream Frum Jews, even most Litvish Chareidim and some Chassidim, are okay with women learning on their own and even giving Hora’ah at times. Most are okay with Yoatzot and don’t protest it, even if they won’t go near them themselves. What people are against is an institutionalized “Smicha” that has its basis in women being “equal” to men. (I put the word equal in quotes because their definition of equal is not a real equality.)
