What happens when feminism meets Orthodox Judaism? How can these two worlds co-exist, evolve and even thrive in close proximity? Learn about a new feministic-orthodox movement, born out of the desire to immerse in Jewish knowledge and to contribute to the ongoing Jewish religious discussion, also as a woman. This is a unique opportunity to get a glimpse into an evolving social and spiritual movement told from a first-person experience and perspective.
