oomis, that reminds me of an interesting converdation I was having on Shabbos about how we’re perhaps overeducating our children and that’s were our downfall lies. “
In what respect do YOU mean, OI( I might even agree with you)?
“oomis- The reason there are more Torah-educated girls today than ever before is because it was assur in previous generations.”
SF – it was also a different hashkafa about the the role of Torah-learning for girls to be able to properly raise children in a Torah-dig home. We no longer live in the Shtetl, and women need to be educated for many reasons, among them, rearing their children with Torah values. Times ARE different now, and those who are naysayers, are wearing blinders. My mother O”H did not go to Yeshivah. She couldn’t test me on my chumash and navi, or read my chiburim and enjoy them. She was a frum woman, who lived her life in a kosher and proper way, but she ALWAYS felt the lack. Women have a geshmak for learning also. It possibly could be a different type of learning, but it is there for so many of us.
