This first episode explores why we think it’s important for women to learn about mitzvot and invest energy into building religious identity and experiences. Before delving into conversations about specific mitzvot, we wanted to take some time to speak more broadly about current trends in women’s religious lives and how we would like to see them develop.Check out sources and discussion that inspired this conversation on the Deracheha site: https://www.deracheha.org/concepts-introduction/Women Talking Mitzvot is a podcast series produced by Deracheha: womenandmitzvot.org and the Stella K.
