For women this is a time of change. True, lasting, positive change must be nurtured, tended, and enthusiastically encouraged over time for it to take root. The women of today are assuming different roles than what was expected in the past, when women typically were relegated to supporting roles. It is essential that our women and girls receive the same rigorous intellectual and spiritual training and support that men and boys receive. Targum Shlishi is wholly dedicated to supporting the changing roles that women and girls are assuming in spiritual, religious, communal, and social settings. Targum Shlishi has supported several initiatives designed to enable the voices of Jewish women to be heard loudly and clearly, from within the synagogues and without. Projects supported vary widely, and range from conferences to publications to addressing gaps in the tradition of worship.
