Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

Since the start of the pandemic, Jewish media run stories of more female participation in Jewish learning and ritual. Do the claims stand up to evidence and tell the whole story? Learn about the experiences of two UK-based Orthodox female-only online prayer groups with appeal across ages, continents and movements. What does it mean for the future?
