Rabbi Ethan Tucker and Rabbi Micha’el Rosenberg’s Gender Equality and Prayer in Jewish Law

In Gender Equality and Prayer in Jewish Law, Rabbis Ethan Tucker and Micha’el Rosenberg explore the complex history of the discourses of gender and halakha in Jewish prayer. They provide enough data to challenge what is often the dominant narrative in traditionalist halakhic settings and they offer new ways of framing the discussion of gender and prayer while being anchored in halakhic discourse. New ways of framing make way for the possibility of alternative narratives about what is possible to be done as an halakhic prayer community committed to expanding women’s role in public prayer.
