Helping
Orthodox feminists
from across the world
regroup to assess their
movement's progress,
and strategize for the
future.

111 arlene Rifkind whirled
past the four women
removing their tefillin,
or phylacteries, after a
morning prayer service. It was the
first time the Orthodox mother of
three had ever been called for an
aliyah, a recitation of blessings over
the Torah reading, or had even par-

Ms. Rifkind, a financial planner
from Santa Barbara, Calif., echoed
the sentiments of many of the 2,000
people who attended the Second
International Conference on
Feminism and Orthodoxy Feb. 15-

"You could sense the electricity in
the air.
"On one hand," she said, "the
natives were restless. A lot has to be
done, we waited for so long. But on
the other hand, all this energy, activi-

students, homemakers and business
professionals — descended on the
hotel's ballrooms from seven coun-

enthusiasm, lugging notebooks, tape
recorders and even nursing infant's.
Among those Orthodox feminists
— women whose lives are defined by
Halachah, or Jewish law — was
Shelley List, one of two dozen people
who traveled to the gathering from
