@efshar, R Shapiro’s story? Here is a lady that apparently knows everything her husband knows, and also knows her husband, and knows when to help him. And a husband, who knows that when in trouble, he needs to look at his wife.
re: specific sources for girls to study.
I am for studying “basics” – but in depth. Remind you, we had ten commandments in the service, then deleted it due to apikoirosim claiming that this is all we have. I think we went the other way – we are teaching minute details of halakha, skipping basics.
We have disagreements here on such basic things as a need to work for a living, protect someone’s life, hillul Hashem, truth v false news. And discussions on these topics have less sources than minhagei nittel acht!
What do you think about
Nehoma Leibowitz, Elia Munk for Humash, relatable/modern and still traditional, with occasional digging into their sources
Ein Yaakov – as intro to Talmudic approach, without piling up pilpul.
