Reply To: Clarification to mod and DaMoshe

Arso,

“And of course I won’t ask you for a source in a sicha because I don’t believe what it says there.”

Isn’t it a tad ridiculous to expect me to trust you’re know what you know, and completely disregard an open printed statement of the Rebbe when you’re talking about what the Rebbe said??

“Finally, if the LR did indeed say taht women should learn gemoro even when it is not directly relevant to their performing mitzvos in which they are obligated, isn’t that going against explicit halacha?”

No, The same way every bais Yaakov teaches mefarshim on the Chumash and Navi today (all Torah shebaal peh- not directly related to mitzvos bichlal.) Same rationale- times have changed. if women ARE being educated to think critically, and ARE receiving an advanced secular education, not seeing the depth within Torah= dangerous set up hashkafically.
