Berger, Aliza
Jewish Legal Writings by Women. Berger, Aliza. Urim, 1998.
Synopsis: This book is a collection of seventeen original articles on Jewish law (halakha) by contemporary religious women from around the world. These authors are the product of the first generation of women to have studied Jewish law. In past generations there have only been individual women who attained a degree of respect in this realm. As far as is known, there is no record of any legal discourses by them. Previously unchartered territory by women, this collection shows that women can, and do, contribute to the moral and authentic religious positions for the Jewish people.
