AAQ:
“HaKatan, maybe I was not clear. This educated women need to have access to Judaism at comparable level they have to other areas of knowledge…”
You seem to be proposing that because women know secular subjects on advanced levels that, therefore, they must also learn gemara (on high levels, lectures, BM, et al.) I don’t see any logic connecting those two.
Judge Ruchie Freier, for example, is a chassidic woman. I very highly doubt that she has ever learned gemara in any formal setting, if at all. Yet, she is perfectly capable of being a judge of secular law.
Again, simply speaking, G-d does not permit women to learn gemara, unlike men, as the CC noted and as Rav Moshe Feinstein noted, both quoted in the article by LBC”L Rabbi Jachter. Yet you come up with a sevara of them needing to do so just because some have advanced knowledge in secular topics? One has nothing to do with the other, as mentioned.
DaMoshe:
Zionism is idolatry, as you have seen on these boards numerous times, and you could open a Kovetz Maamarim from Rav Elchonon and the other sefarim that discuss it and label it as exactly that. There is nothing “hateful” about that. You are both ignoring reality and accusing falsely because, presumably, you want to have your idol of Zionism as you were taught/shmaded, rather than reading Torah sources on the matter and taking that to your rabbis to at least try to get an opinion from them.
