Book Synopsis

For women who think that traditional study is closed to them, or for men who feel that women should not learn Torah, or for any reader seeking to fully understand the value and history of Torah study and education in Judaism, And All Your Children Shall Be Learned will be both eye-opening and interesting, shedding light on a long-neglected topic, the contribution of women to the study of Torah.
