Judaism and Islam have for centuries excluded women from Rabbinic and Quranic study as well as from religious leadership. However, since the middle of the XXth century, Jewish and Muslim feminisms initiated a critical re-reading of the sacred texts and women in Orthodox Judaism and mainstream Islam began asking for gender justice in religious roles. Today, women\u2019s access to religious knowledge, exegesis and interpretation of Jewish (halakha<\/em>) and Muslim law (fiqh<\/em>) lead to new public functions such as women-judges (qadiya<\/em>) in sharia <\/em>courts, female pleaders (toaniyot<\/em>) in rabbinical courts, women religious guides in Islam (murshidat<\/em>) and Judaism (female rabbis, maharat<\/em>), and women giving rulings in Jewish (posqot<\/em>) or Muslim law (muftiya<\/em>). This workshop will discuss divergences and convergences in the various strategies used by women to reclaim these roles while remaining \u00ab inside \u00bb conservative religion; it will also examine men\u2019s support or resistance in the face of these developments, and the \u201cglass ceilings\u201d that still remain. These issues are too rarely debated comparatively in Islam and Judaism and this workshop\u2019s aim is thus to open the path for further inter-religious research on women\u2019s religious functions.<\/p>\nPROGRAM<\/p>\n
