Reply To: Women’s mitzvot….or not?

to bogen….as you have already heard, this is absolutely NOT (as you write)”neo-feminist pseudo religious ideas”. Well, unless you consider the “Chavas Jo-ir” (early 17th century), the “Nodah be-jehuda”( mid 18th century), the “Chelkas Yaakov”,(late 18th century) the “Be-er heitav”,(late 19th century), the “Kitzur Shulchan Aruch” (mid 19th century) and others, “neo-feminist pseudo-religious” thinkers.

I will IYH show you that this question goes back quite a while and indeed, is a lot more complicated than you think. I’ll elaborate later and bring down actual “mar-eh mekomos”.

My thanks to ‘blue shirt’ for his quote from Yaffa Eliach’s book. I did not know about this one.
