My feelings about women & Judaisom is that in the past, men were elevated and women were only important to propagate the Jewish population, to cook, care for the sick, & were subjugated to the wishes of h1er husband. It was the situation where the female walked 10 steps behind the male. Of course, now, in the
21st Century, that sort of thinking is Rejected. Women are recognized as being of value not only for their housekeeping skills and childbearing, but for their intelligence and are being
recognized as equal to men. Even to the point where they are now
Rabbis and Cantors in Synagogues. So phenomenal changes have taken place in the Jewish religious practices. There may be some resistance to the "modernization" by the Orthodox practicing Jews, but there is now a section called, Modern Orthodox, which has relented some of those strict practices. I, personally, do agree with Progress and the
Modernization Movement. Women shoul be allowed to sit next to her husband in a synagogue and pray together. This is 2023 and the discrimination of women in so many facets of society must be eliminated!
