Reply To: Can women talk about Gemara?

Decades ago there was a rebbitzen in Brooklyn who wanted to learn gemara but couldn’t find anyone to teach her (not even her husband). So she enrolled at JTS and learned with Prof. David Weiss Halivni (with the approval of her husband — for some reason academic study seems to have engendered less objection than traditional study). Eventually she did find orthodox teachers and at the time of her death she was on her third daf yomi cycle. Interestingly, she rarely TALKED about gemara outside of the shiurim she attended.
