Overview

Few topics in Jewish ritual life are as emotionally laden and communally challenging as that of gender egalitarian prayer. In this course, we'll trace the halakhic history around three specific topics: 

  1. Is there a gender gap in the obligation to pray daily? 
  2. What are the requirements for a person to lead communal prayer, and how, if at all, do they intersect with gender?
  3. What are the requirements for counting toward a minyan, and are they gendered?
