Women in Judaism at Yeshurun

Yeshurun Women in Judaism has been involved in the Jewish education of women; in empowering women within synagogue management (there is no longer any quota for women members of council and women can fill executive positions, including chairperson); increasing women’s participation, and providing a forum for social and community issues relevant to women.

The most visible of the group’s achievements has been the establishment and development of the Women’s Tefilah group, open to participation from all the women, which meets in the synagogue on a Shabbat morning approximately three times a year. A later innovation has been the inclusion of girls celebrating their Bat Mitzvah.

Other activities for women, under the auspices of Yeshurun Women in Judaism, include a Simchat Torah celebration for women.

To refer to one of many similar quotes by members of Yeshurun:-
‘Women in Judaism provides Yeshurun with something very special and precious and is integral to what makes Yeshurun a unique and special community’
