Tanach includes the 5 books of Moses. Maybe you guys are referring to Nach.

Yes I was referring to Naviim and Ketuvim mostly. I figured that is what he meant.

Regardless, they learn enough of it and know plenty. Not to mention, a lot of it is already used in the Talmud.

I think what they learn of it is mostly as kids, and you don't retain that much knowledge of it. The more operational knowledge is of talmud, the mode the yeshiva switches to at rather young age nowadays. You can't learn all your nach from Talmud and say that that is sufficient or adequate knowledge of those texts. (Although some will say "that's all you need to know!" - I don't think that's an intellectually honest position.) Nonetheless, the women know tanach rather well. And of course there are always exceptions. But for sure, the zionist yeshivot incorporated the tanach study for a reason.. Because it was lacking in the yeshivot. It is not a main focus. Some lament this, others celebrate it, others perhaps are indifferent or don't realize things can be different or don't find them worth changing even if they don't like it entirely.

Right, but the point is that they know enough even though they may focus more on gemara as they get older.

Dr. Dan:
If it was accepted by my wife and family I woukd consider growing them except for the fact it be a chilool hshem because I don't wear a kippa nor shomer shabbat etc. But peyot are beautiful and I do have a fascination with them

i really hope their numbers grow, but i read somewhere here mention that Charedim men cannot interact with women? does that mean they have to live a celibate life? THen its really difficult for their numbers to grow.
