"Thus Torah -- 'Jewish' sources, 'Jewish' teaching -- puts itself forward as Jewish teaching but speaks in the voice of only half the Jewish people. This scandal is compounded by another: The omission is neither mourned nor regretted; it is not even noticed." -- Judith Plaskow
I recently read an inspiring post on Facebook by a Jewish man who, when asked to speak on an all-male panel in Jewish settings, declines, requesting that the organizers find some female panelists. This would be a very transformative practice if more male Jewish educators and leaders were to follow suit.
