Nurturing Wisdom: Women and Torah Learning

The world changed swiftly in the second half of the twentieth century, making updating educational standards an absolute necessity. Addressing the challenges of the times, the Rebbe drew on halachic sources and previous precedent to offer guidance and encouragement to Klal Yisrael.

In letters to individuals and in public addresses, the Rebbe clarified his views, addressed age-old questions, and called for new initiatives, empowering generations of women and girls to study, teach, and lead.

Nurturing Wisdom presents a comprehensive collection of these letters and addresses, collectively showcasing the Rebbe's perspective on women's Torah study. Many of the Rebbe's English letters appear with minimal editing in their original style. The Rebbe's bold vision for this vital matter will be of tremendous benefit to Jewish women and girls everywhere.
