Independent Minyanim and Feminism in the American Jewish Community

Presented by Tobin Belzer

Dr. Tobin Belzer will discuss how independent minyanim (prayer groups) and feminism have affected American Judaism over the past 40-50 years.  In particular, she addresses the manner in which their critiques of Jewish practices have been adopted by Jewish mainstream institutions.

Tobin Belzer, Ph.D., is a Visiting Scholar at the Taube Center for Jewish Studies, Stanford University; and a Research Associate, Center for Religion and Civic Culture, University of Southern California.
