Reply To: Why Would a Girl Even Want to Learn Talmud?

WIY: Do you know how many rebetzins and rabbi’s I have spoken to already? And you keep forgetting – I am the rebetzin. 🙂

In fact, I even tried to bring up this topic to a GADOL – yes a real gadol whose name you know. It took hurculean effort to meet him in person. I went to ask him a question unrelated to this topic and then figured – may as well ask about this too. It took an additional dose of hurculean effort to bring up this topic, but I overcame my bais-yakov ingrained bushah and broached the topic and got: “This is how Hashem made it, this is the tevah and it’s not good to tamper with it…” Or something to that effect.

As a ninteen-year-old, I sort of just swallowed it – like a bitter pill you need to take.

But my brain had been aired out a bit since then.

And I have more to say on the GADOL/Daas Torah topic because it has impacted my life directly in a non-positive way.
