Nechama, I’d like to respond to that.
I was under the impression that we do have a chiyuv to learn in order to be able to fulfil what we were metzuveh in.
That is the case. The reason is in order that you be able to fulfill.
Considering that the 6 mitzvos temidios are for all yidden, then we do have a pretty big chiyuv to learn even if it’s just to understand better the mitzvah of H-Shem Echod.
Ok, that is a big jump. You are saying that one needs to understand Torah in order to understand Hashem’s oneness. I would respond two things:
A. Where do you get that from?
B. Look, it must be wrong, because our parents and grandparents didn’t do it that way. So whatever the theory we need to answer it, the answer isn’t that Nechama in 2011 thought of a great new svara which reworks our entire theory of women’s avodas Hashem.
I’m not talking about learning gemara or the pressures girls are under to learn so much in school, but stam a woman opening a sefer, even if it’s chumash with meforshim seems a pretty basic skill that all women should be able to feel competent in.
That is not the same as you were arguing. Having the skills you refer to certainly is unconnected to understanding Hashem.
We don’t need to go back to only learning from the Tzene U’rene
Why not? It was good enough for mine bubbe. It is true that my bubbe lived in an unheated shack with an outhouse and owned only one dress. But, I don’t assume that her judaism was backward.
