<HTML>Another source not mentioned is a book by Susan Zolty, Aaronson Press, And
all your Children Shall be Learned. Also Ellinson's book Serving the
Creator-vol. I. In terms of pedagogy, let me add my voice to Rabbi Sokolow
-it is essential to be honest and sensitive to the perspective and
realities of the student. The observer who walks into a synagogue and sees
the majority of space is given to the men, the honors, the center of the
Torah reading is all for the men, while the women are curtained behind a
partition, just might come to the conclusion that Judaism is sexist. Not
to mention Jewish divorce and the plight of agunot. To pretend that this
is not the common perception (although false) does our students a
disservice. If we don't deal with the "hard" issues when we have them
within a "misgeret" of Jewish study, they will face the issues without our
support.</HTML>
