I would do it for sure if I weren’t so exhausted from school. I’m still going to try. Probably Rus, like ultimateskier said.
Meforshim doesn’t necessarily equal assur torah she’ba’al peh- should girls not be learning Rashi? I happen to love learning meforshim be’iyun- there’s a satisfaction to coming to the answer on my own or bechavrusa. In a way, it’s a bit like what I imagine learning Gemara to possibly be like. It’s awesome.
just a member, I’m confident that ultimateskier will be contacting you to confirm that her learning choices are okay… 🙂 And why not stay up the whole night?
Look, honestly, women who are doing this aren’t trying to be “feminist” (whatever that may mean in a frum context)- they just want to learn because they think the men are on to a good thing, and it’s a very neutral thing- not a man’s mitzvah at all. it’s limud Torah, which is considered MORE THAN FINE in this day and age.
You know what- I should totally make a Shavuos learning party in my neighborhood. And make extra cheesecake :).
