4. Could women be called to the Torah on Shabbat without "disrespect"?

  • Summary

  • The Talmud asserts that Torah reading by women infringes the "respect" due to the community. But, today, a member of the community who is called to the Torah does not need to read. The ba'al koreh, the communal Torah reader, will read for them. As such the Shulhan Arukh, the authoritative code of Jewish law, suggests that up to six of the seven community members called to the Torah on shabbat could be women.
