This dynamic conversation will explore how the boundaries are being drawn around women's involvement across areas of halakhic decision-making and the reasons and motivations for these developments. The panelists will also discuss the ways, if any, in which halakhic decisions rendered by women differ -- in style, content, or otherwise -- from those of their male counterparts, and the underlying reasons for such differences.
