Partnership Minyanim

Minyan Shachar is committed to maximum participation of women within the guidelines of halacha. In recent years a number of teshuvot have been written addressing the issues of women's participation in tefillah and kriat hatorah.

If you are interested in exploring this further, please find links to these teshuvot:

• Rabbi Mendel Shapiro's article Qeri'at ha-Torah by Women: A Halakhic Analysis
• Rabbi Daniel Sperber's article Congregational Dignity and Human Dignity: Women and Public Torah Reading

We also encourage you to find the names and locations of other partnership minyanim around the world, compiled by JOFA, the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance.
