Keren, Rachel
"Freedom vs. Authority: The Absolute in Complex World," Keren, Rachel. JOFA 6th International Conference. 2007.
Synopsis: The Orthodox individual often feels torn between a desire for greater freedom of choice and an acceptance of authority. As a result individuals are pulled in two opposing directions either towards an abandonment of their personal, familial and communal obligations dictated by Orthodox practice or to a withdrawal into ultra-Orthodox spiritual ghettos. This session will argue that Torah study by women is the most significant change brought about by the religious feminist revolution, one that offers a response to the dichotomy of freedom vs. authority facing Orthodoxy. It will illustrate how batei midrash for women can and should be a model for change in the world of Jewish education, offering an opportunity for discussion of identity issues and open dialogue with the Torah world.
