This is the sixth episode in our new podcast series exploring a woman's relationship with Talmud Torah. In this episode, we interview Rebbetzin Holly Pavlov, a lecturer, published author and founder and director of She’arim College of Jewish Studies. We explore the necessity for in-depth Torah study for women in the modern age and how to make Torah alive and relevant in the lives of Jewish women.

We discuss these questions and more:

What is your vision for the students of your seminary? What subjects do you think are most important for women to study and why? Do you think it’s important for women to study from the text specifically? Will learning halacha from the sources make women disrespectful of halacha? Is too much knowledge a dangerous thing? What gaps do you see in the girls’ education system and how can we fill those gaps?
