Israel > Save Israel

In Jerusalem, women are voiceless at a decidedly womanly event ????

My previous post has nothing to do with the conference... It is just advice for guys...

Harzel:
I think if they are going to invite secular doctors as experts they shouldn't restrict it to male speaksers only since there is simply no way a secular could understand what the hell is their problem (and they do have a problem).

Masha:
From the point of view of political freedom, I would say that if this is a private conference, they should have a right to do what they want. On the other hand, women-professionals should also have a right to disassociate themselves from an organization that does not allow them to speak. To me this is more of a freedom of association question than a religious question.

Puah has conferences all the time and women professionals speak at them.  There is one yearly conference given to a haredi crowd (its to a man and woman audience covering male and female health topics and halacha) and out of sensitivity to the audience, they have only male speakers so that more people will attend.  Many haredim would not go to a woman's presentation because of MODESTY issues, not because they think women can't be experts or some other feminist lie.  I am not one of those people who would not attend but I understand those who would not.  Obviously Puah wants to have the biggest possible audience and make sure men are informed without modesty issues preventing them from learning about important issues.

This is a secular attack on haredim.

Thanks for explaining the issue I understand it a lot better now than when I read the original post.
