RESPONSA ON CONTEMPORARY JEWISH WOMEN’S ISSUES

Anyone interested in Jewish women's issues or contemporary Halacha cannot afford to forgo this masterpiece, now expanded to encompass 31 iconic responsa of Rabbi Yehuda Henkin on women's issues, including several translated here into English for the first time. His explanations offer a clear guide to Jewish law on many important religious issues, including learning Talmud, prayer, women in the synagogue, tzniut (modesty) and family life.

This new expanded version has been edited by Rabbanit Chana Henkin, founder and Chancellor of Nishmat - the Jeanie Schottenstein Center for Advanced Torah Study for Women in Jerusalem - and its ground-breaking Yoatzot Halacha program. As a foundational book that is suitable for students and teachers, women and girls, it would make a great Bat Mitzvah gift and should be included in every Jewish family’s library!
