Abstract:
Modem Orthodox professional women coexist in the secular and religious worlds and they must balance their extensive responsibilities in those two arenas. Through observance of Shabbat and the holidays, these women regularly make time for a rich family life. The crossover of secular values, such as feminism, into the religious world has led many to explore innovative public religious experiences, such as women's tefillah groups.
