Orthodoxy, Masculinity, and the Evolving Synagogue with Elana Sztockman

In her illuminating book, "The Men's Section", Elana Maryles Sztokman investigates a fascinating new sociological phenomenon: Orthodox Jewish men who connect themselves to egalitarian or quasi-egalitarian religious enterprises. She examines the men who have enabled these transitions by constituting the requisite ten-man prayer quorum of Orthodoxy. By participating in "Partnership Minyanim," these men support the reconstruction of both male and female roles without leaving the Orthodox religious world.
