Reply To: How can a woman get schar for learning Torah?

In the time of the gemorah, women in general, in all socities, were considered second class. However, the Zohar says that women have less mitzvos because they are on a higher spiritual level than men. Although the Torah is eternal and Torah life is the way we go, times and cultures change. In the early 20th century, girls were not happy with their place in society. They felt empty. This caused terrible departures from yiddishkeit. Sarah Schnierer saw this and recognized the need for educating Jewish girls in Torah so that they would fel meaningful and that yiddishkeit would be relevant in their lives. All the Torah gedolim of Poland and Lithuania and Germany agreed with her and gave her strong support, especially the Gerrer Rebbe ztzl. Result: we have generations of Torah true girls becoming strong supporters of Torah learning. Yes, women can have their own schar for learning Torah.
