Midreshet Lindenbaum (מדרשת לינדנבאום), originally named Michlelet Bruria, one of the early leaders in the women's talmud study movement, is a Jewish educational institution for women.〔(El Or, Tamar. trans. Haim Watzman. "Next Year I Will Know More: Literacy and Identity among Young Orthodox Women in Israel", Wayne State University Press. )〕 Michlelet Bruria was founded in 1976 by Rabbi Chaim Brovender, as the woman's component of Yeshivat Hamivtar. At Bruria, as in a traditional men's yeshiva, women studied in hevrutot (a traditional Jewish system of partner-based religious study) and learned Talmud as well as advanced Tanach.〔(Furstenberg, Rochelle. "The Flourishing of Higher Jewish Learning for Women". Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, 1 May 2000. )〕 In 1986, Bruria merged with Ohr Torah Stone Institutions and was renamed "Midreshet Lindenbaum" after (Belda ) and Marcel Lindenbaum.〔〔(About Midreshet Lindenbaum )〕 It is currently located in Talpiot, Jerusalem. Midreshet Lindenbaum continues to be a leader in Jewish women's education. Many of the teachers at Matan, Nishmat, Pardes and other women's and co-ed yeshivas studied there at some point. One of its most notable students is Malka Binah, the founder of Matan, who also served as the director of the program there later on. In 2014 the first ever book of halachic decisions written by women who were ordained to serve as poskim (Idit Bartov and Anat Novoselsky) was published. 〔http://jpupdates.com/2014/06/26/first-halacha-sefer-women-makes-waves-israel-orthodox-world/〕 The women were ordained by the municipal chief rabbi of Efrat, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, after completing Midreshet Lindenbaum's five-year ordination course in advanced studies in Jewish law, as well as passing examinations equivalent to the rabbinate’s requirement for men. 〔http://jpupdates.com/2014/06/26/first-halacha-sefer-women-makes-waves-israel-orthodox-world/〕 Midreshet Lindenbaum has also been a leader in developing women's role in rabbinical courts in Israel and in founding the first school dedicated to training women to serve as advocates in religious courts.〔(The Monica Dennis Goldberg School for Women Advocates )〕〔(Women Advocates Make Their Mark, Jewish Action, 2004 )〕 known as ''to'anot'' in Hebrew. They also operate a legal aid center and hotline which has taken an active role in advocating for a resolution to the Agunah problem〔(Max Morrison Legal Aid/Yad Lalsha )〕〔("Divorcing the Courts". Jerusalem Post, Dec 28, 2006, p. 5 )〕 (an ''agunah'' is a woman married according to Orthodox Jewish law who has been abandoned by her husband without receiving a Jewish divorce and as a result she may not remarry and is considered "chained" until such time as the husband delivers a kosher ''get'' divorce document.) Midreshet Lindenbaum also runs a Torah study program for the developmentally disabled.〔(Their enthusiasm is contagious, The Jewish Week, October 12, 2005 )〕〔(Midreshet Darkaynu )〕 ==See also== * Jewish feminism * Midrasha - overview of higher Jewish learning institutions for women. * Role of women in Judaism - discusses various views of woman's study, including Haredi objections to Talmud study by women. * Torah study - discusses the mitzvah of learning. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Midreshet Lindenbaum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
