Minyan Shivyoni Hilchati
A Minyan Shivyoni Hilchati (shivyoni means 'equitable' and hilchati means "in accordance with Jewish law") is a Jewish prayer service in which women have a significantly expanded liturgical opportunities in an Orthodox Jewish service which retains a separation between men and women during prayer. Such a service represents an attempt to readdress the role of women within the framework of Orthodox halakhah, Jewish law as represented by traditional Jewish sources including the Talmud, the Shulhan Arukh, and reponsa of Orthodox rabbis.
The theoretical underpinning of such a service is a series of articles in the jounal of EDAH, a Modern Orthodox organization, beginning in 2001. These articles argued that under certain conditions it is acceptable under Orthodox jewish law for women to read from the Torah, one of the most central acts of traditional Jewish public prayer, during Shabbat (sabbath) prayer services. The seminal articles were Rabbi Mendel Shapiro’s article “Qeri’at ha-Torah by Women: A Halakhic Analysis” (EDAH Journal 1:2 2001.) and Rabbi Daniel Sperber’s article, “Congregational Dignity and Human Dignity: Women and Public Torah Reading.” (EDAH Journal 3:2, 2002)
The articles permitting these practices were by Orthodox rabbis, and the journal they appeared in EDAH Journal, is the journal of an established Modern Orthodox organization. The leadership of minyanim shivyoni hilchati take great care to keep within the boundaries of Orthodox Jewish law so interpreted. Nonetheless, the interpretation was and is a controversial one. EDAH Journal published the Shapiro article only for discussion purposes, and published it along with a counterargument by Rabbi Yehudah Henkin, " Qeri'at Ha-Torah by Women: Where We Stand Today" (EDAH Journal 1:2 2001) summarizing the arguments against such an interpretation. A minyan shivyoni hilchati currently represents an experimental innovation in Orthodoxy that has not gained the offical approval of any major Orthodox organization or rabbinical association, and hence cannot be said to have full general acceptance within mainstream Orthodox practice.
Key innovations of a minyan shivyoni hilchati are:
1. While retaining the Orthodox requirement that public parts of the service can be conducted only with ten men present, a minyan shivyoni hilchati voluntarily undertakes not to conduct public prayer unless ten women are also present, thus creating a de facto egalitarianism.
2. While retaining the Orthodox requirement of separate seating for men and women and a mechitza (partition) between the men's and women's sections, in a minyan shivyoni hilchati the mechitzah runs down the middle of the room, so that the men’s and women’s sections are side by side. The bimah (dias) is located in the center between the men’s and women’s sections and a shtender (reader's desk) is located on each side.
3. Women can lead certain parts of the prayer service: kabbalat Shabbat, Pesukei de-Zimra, and the removal and replacing of the Torah in the Ark.
4. Women are called to and read from the Torah.
5. Women can give D'Vrei Torah (sermons or lessons), a practice that is also accepted in a larger range of Orthodox congregations.
The services nonetheless have, and take great care to retain, a distinctly Orthodox flavor which is different in character from Conservative, Reconstructionist, and Reform services, which have been egalitarian for decades. Key differences between a minyan shivyoni hilchati and and a Conservative service include:
1. The service is not fully egalitarian. While it may appear to an outsider that men and women are alternating leadership roles in a more-or-less even fashion, there are some parts of the service only men can do even within the liberal interpretation of Orthodoxy a minyan shivyoni hilchati follows, and these parts are always done by men. The Orthodox idea that men and women have roles which are complementary, not interchangable, is retained.
2. The Orthodox requirement of separation between men and women during prayer is fully and carefully retained. In addition to the mechitzah separating the men's and women's sections, men and women are never present on the bima at the same time during prayer. Men lead from the shtender on the men's side and women from the schtender on the women's side. When the Torah is led in procession around the congregation, it is carried through the women's section by a woman, passed over the mechitza, and carried through the men's section by a man.
3. The complete Orthodox prayer service is done, including parts eliminated by the Conservative movement, such as prayers recalling temple sacrifices and petitioning for their resumption.
4. The permission for women to read from the Torah is based on a passage in the Talmud that concerns only Shabbat (the Jewish sabbath) and festivals. Accordingly, these special services with greater women's particapation are conducted only on Shabbat and festivals, and are not available on weekdays.
5. Because the original Shapiro article suggested that there may be greater halachic support for women reading from the Torah in a minyan in a private home rather than a synagogue, some organizations conducting such services take care to call themselves a "minyan" or "kehilla" rather than a "synagogue," to meet in settings, such as private homes or rented halls, which are not reserved full-time for prayer, and to remain informal rather than formally incorporated organizations.
