Also, if a woman feels strongly about #1 and #3, she can join a minyan that would allow her to participate on the level she wishes to. There are plenty of women at traditional egalitarian minyanim such as Kehilat Hadar where seating is completely mixed and women and men can participate in all aspects of the service, DC Minyan where men and women sit separately but both can participate fully and a minyan is considered to be 10 men AND 10 women who come from the Orthodox world, and Shira Chadasha (in Jerusalem) where a minyan is considered to be 10 men and 10 women and women read from the Torah but can't lead certain parts of the service. There are lots of other minyanim similar to these throughout the world. A friend of mine told me last week she was hoping to start a minyan with a group of friends in Jerusalem where women would be able to read Torah but wouldn't be a "10 and 10 minyan" because some people in the group setting it up don't like being counted but want to be able to read Torah.In short, there are lots of options. There is no rule saying an Orthodox woman has to stay Orthodox for forever. |
