Editing Woman (Isha) (section)

== Modern Times ==
In our times, when women study secular subjects, the Rebbe encouraged expanding Torah studies for women even more. Furthermore, the Rebbe explained that women should be taught the reasons behind halachos up to the "shakla v'tarya" (actual Gemara study!), learning that brings pleasure. This is because it's preferable that the "craftiness" that might develop in women should come from this learning and they should have talents in the spirit of the holy Torah rather than from exposure to general culture. The Rebbe innovates that for a woman who enjoys Torah study, the statement that "...it's as if teaching her tiflus" no longer applies! Times have changed and today girls, like boys, want to know the reasons. He added that one who teaches his daughter only the simple level of Jewish subjects - he is the one teaching her tiflus, and to avoid this tiflus it is necessary to teach girls in a deeper and broader way.

Such statements are a real revolution in the Jewish world.
