Women's Tefillah Groups consist exclusively of women who join together to pray. Women are exempt from the commandment of communal prayer under Jewish law, and therefore may not lead tefillot on behalf of men, who are commanded to pray in a minyan. By separating themselves from men, however, women are able to lead tefillah and read from the Torah in a communal setting.
In addition to being forums where women join together in prayer, women's tefillah groups have become places to celebrate life-cycle events such as b'not mitzvah, aufrufs for brides, and baby naming ceremonies.
